Henrietta of England, Duchess of Orléans (16 June O.S. 26 June N.S. 1644 – 30 June 1670), in French Henriette d'Angleterre, known familiarly as Minette, was the youngest daughter of King Charles I of England and Henrietta Maria of France.

The Jacobite claims to the throne following the death of Henry Benedict Stuart descend from her. After her marriage to Monsieur, Philippe de France, brother of King Louis XIV, she became known as Madame at court. Her descendants include Prince Henri, Count of Paris, the present Orléanist pretender to the French throne. She is also an ancestor of King Juan Carlos I of Spain, Albert II, King of the Belgians, Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg and Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples, the pretender to the Italian throne.
