Henryk Wieniawski ([v??'?afsk?i]; 10 July 1835 – 31 March 1880) was a Polish virtuoso violinist, composer and pedagogue who was regarded amongst the greatest violinists in history.

His younger brother Józef Wieniawski and nephew Adam Tadeusz Wieniawski were also accomplished musicians, as was his daughter Régine, who became a naturalised British subject upon marrying into the peerage and wrote music under the name Poldowski.
