Admiral Henning Wilhelm Mauritz von Krusenstierna (19 February 1862 – 30 October 1933) was a senior Swedish Navy officer.

He was fortunate enough to be selected for the frigate Vanadis' sailing expedition around the world 1883–1885 with Rear Admiral Otto Lagerberg as commander and, among others, the then Prince Oscar Bernadotte as an officer.

[1] He then attended the Royal Central Gymnastics Institute and served as other young officers in various places, on board and ashore.

[1][3] From 1898 to 1906 von Krusenstierna was also a teacher at the Royal Swedish Naval Staff College and in 1905 he was a military expert at the conference in Karlstad, when the union between Sweden and Norway was dissolved.

[1] In 1906, von Krusenstierna left the Naval Staff for a period of ten years, during which he was entrusted with other assignments and positions.

The neutrality protection force continued and von Krusenstierna stayed with his division on various Swedish coastlines in the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia.

[1] When he took office, it was in the middle of World War I and the Swedish Navy was still mobilized as a neutrality protection force, causing a very tense job for the Naval Staff.

One extensive investigation or proposal after another followed, all as a result of or in connection with the end and aftermath of World War I, the dismantling of the neutrality protection force and the demobilization of the navy, the organization in 1917 of the Swedish Navy Aviation (Marinens Flygväsende), the 1919 parliamentary decision on the merger of the defence ministries, the 1919 naval preparation – under the leadership of Vice Admiral Gustaf Dyrssen – concerning the organization of the Swedish Navy, Sweden's accession to the League of Nations, the activities of the defence audit 1919–1923, the 1920 and 1926 investigations of the central defence administration and the Swedish Armed Forces' high command, and the two bills 1924 and 1925 on the organization of the Swedish defence.

After leaving the Naval Staff and the service, he continued and with never-failing interest in the issues of the navy, and wrote essays in newspapers and magazines as well as in publications published by Marinlitteraturföreningen.
