Heinrich Leopold Wagner (19 February 1747 – 4 March 1779) was a German dramatist of the Sturm und Drang movement.

He married a widowed woman 18 years older than him and died on the 4 March 1779 at the young age of 32, probably from tuberculosis.

Together with Klinger and Lenz Wangner was known by his contemporaries as a Goethianer, since these authors were among Goethe's closest friends.

His most important work was a play written in 1776 titled The Child Murderess, a societal critique typical of the Sturm und Drang movement.
