Heinrich Georg Schomburgk (German pronunciation: [ˈhaɪnʁɪç ˈʃoːmbʊʁk]; 23 June 1885 – 26 March 1965) was a male tennis player and footballer from Germany.[1]

At the Stockholm Olympics in 1912, he won a gold medal in the mixed doubles event with Dorothea Köring.[2]

He participated in the 1906 Wimbledon Championships, reaching the second round, where he was beaten by Frank Riseley, who later on was to challenge the defending champion Laurence Doherty.
