Heinrich[citation needed] Baten or Bate (fl. late 13th century) was a German[citation needed] astronomer.
Baten was from Mechelen, and is known almost entirely for a 1290 work of his, De erroribus tabularum Alphonsi, which pointed out errors in the Alfonsine tables. He also may have written on the astrolabe, as a work was published in Venice in 1458 entitled De nativitatibus et magistralis compositio astrolabii Henrici Bate. There is another extant manuscript bearing his name, Speculum divinorum et naturalium quorundam, but it is unsettled whether it is by this Baten or by another person with the same name.
