Prince Frederick Henry Charles of Prussia (German: Friedrich Heinrich Karl; 30 December 1781, Berlin - 12 July 1846, Rome) was a Prussian prince and army officer.
On 12 August 1817 Henry visited the USS Washington during her time as the US flagship in the Mediterranean. In 1819 he was one of the godparents of Prince George of Cumberland, grandson of George III of the United Kingdom at his christening in Berlin. Later in 1819 Henry moved to Rome, only gaining permission to go from Frederick William III after Henry (always in poor health) fainted at a soirée. He spent his last twenty years bedridden, with major general Friedrich Wilhelm von Lepel (1774-1840) and from 1845 Helmuth von Moltke as his adjutant.
