Henry I (died 14 June 1190) was Count of Tyrol from 1180 until his death.
The (Princely) County of Tyrol was an estate of the Holy Roman Empire established about 1140. Originally a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of the Counts of Tyrol, it was inherited by the Counts of Gorizia in 1253 and finally fell to the Austrian House of Habsburg in 1363. In 1804 the Princely County of Tyrol, unified with the secularised Prince-Bishoprics of Trent and Brixen, became a crown land of the Austrian Empire in 1804 and from 1867 a Cisleithanian crown land of Austria-Hungary.
Henry was a younger son of Count Berthold I of Tyrol and his wife Agnes(?), a daughter of Count Otto I of Ortenburg. In 1180 he succeeded his father as Tyrolean count, jointly with his brother Berthold II. After Berthold II died in 1181, Henry I ruled alone.
