Heinrich Eduard von Lade (24 February 1817 – 7 August 1904) was a German banker and amateur astronomer.
He was born in Geisenheim, located along the banks of the Rhine River, and was the son of a wealthy wine merchant. He worked as a banker and exporter in Hamburg and Paris, and by the age of 44, he had earned enough to retire.
In 1861, he built a private estate, Villa Monrepos, in Geisenheim. There, he dedicated himself to cultivating fruit and wine and established the Royal Prussian Teaching Institute for Fruit and Viticulture in 1872.
