Lieutenant-General Henry Freydenberg (14 December 1876 – 20 August 1975) was a French army officer. He was born in Paris on 14 December 1876 of German descent family.

In 1919 he was chief of staff to general d'Anselme during the French occupation of Odessa.

He subsequently retired from the army for the second, and last, time.
