Heinrich Isser (born May 12, 1928 in Matrei am Brenner ; † May 18, 2004 ) was an Austrian luge and bobsleigh athlete .

Heinrich Isser came from a family of successful Austrian bobsleigh and luge athletes. The family also included Franz , Fritz , Maria , Paul and Josef Isser . He celebrated his first successes in tobogganing. At the 1951 European Luge Championships in Igls , he and his brother Josef won the silver medal in the two-seater. A year later he won the title in Garmisch-Partenkirchen with Paul Aste . In 1953 he competed again with Aste in doubles in Cortina d'Ampezzo and again took second place. In the single seater, Isser had to admit defeat to his doubles partner and finished second again. The Doppe Aste / Isser won its second European championship title in Hahnenklee in 1955 . Since the mid-1950s, Isser competed in bobsleigh with greater success. His only participation in the Winter Olympics was in 1956 in Cortina d'Ampezzo. With Aste he took 12th place in two, with Karl Wagner , Fritz Rursch and Adolf Tonn in tenth place. At the 1958 Bobsleigh World Championship in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, he won the bronze medal with Aste in a small bob. He won the same medal again in the 1962 Bobsleigh World Championship in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, now with his siblings Franz, Josef and Fritz in the four-man bobsleigh.
