Henri Marie Bruno Joseph Léon, Baron Kervyn De Lettenhove (sometimes styled Henry instead) (1856-1928)[1] was a Belgian lawyer and amateur architect and art historian.

He was born in 1856 to Baron Joseph Kervyn de Lettenhove, historian and politician.

He was one of the founding members of the "Museum van de Nijverheidskunst" in het Huis de Roode Steen in Bruges, founded in 1908 but only opened to the public in 1911.

He was also one of the driving forces behind the Groeningemuseum, but due to the many delays, including the first World War, it only opened after his death.
