Heinrich von Ofterdingen (1802) is an unfinished and fragmentary German language Romantic novel by Novalis about a quasi-fictional Minnesinger Heinrich von Ofterdingen who participated in the Sängerkrieg (Minstrels' contest) on the Wartburg. He is chiefly known by the novel of Novalis of the same name and the role of Tannhäuser in Wagner's opera. The Novalis novel also contained the symbol of the Blue Flower which became a key symbol in Romanticism.

Colin Wilson in The Outsider, pp. 48—49, discusses Heinrich von Ofterdingen as ,,the impractical dreamer".
