Henry Wilhelm Kristiansen (12 February 1902 – 16 January 1942) was a Norwegian newspaper editor and politician for the Communist Party.

Due to the Nazi German occupation of Norway, the newspaper was closed in 1940, and Kristiansen was deported together with his wife in 1941, and died in Neuengamme concentration camp.

He was born in Drammen as the son of Martin Wilhelm Kristiansen and his wife Gina, née Olsen.

[3] In November 1941 he and Johan Strand Johansen were arrested and deported on the SS Donau[citation needed] to Hamburg.

In 1948, during the legal purge in Norway after World War II, an indictment towards Arbeideren was considered because of the neutral alignment after 9 April 1940—however, since the editor-in-chief Kristiansen was deceased, the case was closed.
