Henry III, Lord of Waldeck (c. 1225/1230 – 1267) was a German nobleman. He was the eldest son of Count Adolph I of Waldeck and Schwalenberg (d. 1270), from his first marriage with Sophie (d. 1254).
Henry was already a co-ruler of Waldeck during his father's lifetime. However, he died three years before his father, so he never inherited the county. His younger brother Widukind had joined the clergy, and was Bishop of Osnabrück from 1265 until his death on 18 November 1269. Consequently, Adolph I was succeeded by Henry III's son Adolph II.
Henry III, his father and his brother Widukind supported Landgrave Henry I of Hesse in his struggle with Bishop Simon I of Paderborn and abbot Henry III of Corvey, about territorial dominance in the border region between Hesse and Westphalia. Henry I prevailed.
