Henry Heppner (c. 1831 – February 16, 1905) was a prominent Jewish-American civil leader and entrepreneur in eastern Oregon.

[3][1] Heppner's headstone in the Beth Israel Cemetery in Portland, Oregon, lists his birth year as 1831.

Circa 1862, Heppner joined hundreds seeking profits from recent gold discoveries in eastern Oregon and western Idaho.

One of his most prominent was establishing a store with Colonel Jackson Lee Morrow in 1873 in Stansbury Flats, a small settlement in north-central Oregon.

He co-founded the Heppner Gazette newspaper with Henry Blackman and contributed relief and recovery funds to the town following the Flood of 1903.

He was a member of Heppner Masonic Order and at one point affectionately called "Uncle Henry" in local press.

[25][26][27] Sources again conflict on the date, though one newspaper assures readers that Heppner passed on the same day that the County of Morrow was founded.

"[23] Heppner's last will and testament divided the profits from his estate among his surviving siblings and relatives, including Dora, Elias, Elizabeth, Fanny, Flora, Kaskel, and Jenny.
