Heinrich Pfeiffer (c. 1500, Mühlhausen - 27 May 1525, Mühlhausen) was a peasant leader in the German Peasants' War.
Pfeiffer was a monk from Reifenstein Abbey who renounced his vows and converted to Protestantism.[1] He first preached in 1523. After the Battle of Frankenhausen, he escaped the siege of Mühlhausen on May 24 but was captured by the nobles' cavalry.[1] He was executed soon after, along with Thomas Müntzer and other peasant leaders.[1]
