Heinrich Peters (* before 1890 , † after 1900 ) was a German regatta sailor .

At the 1900 Olympic Games , Peters competed in open class with Paul Wiesner , Ottokar Weise and Georg Naue on May 20, the Berliners took second place with their Cinderella, behind a British crew with the Scotia . On May 24th, Wiesner, Peters and Naue as well as Arthur Bloomfeld , as a substitute for the ailing sage, competed in the first competition in the boat class up to a tonne and won the regatta. During the reweighing, however, it turned out that the boat was too heavy at 1.041 t, so the boat was disqualified and the Scotia declared the victorious boat. Then the crew of the Cinderella, now again with Ottokar Weise, competed in the next race in the next higher boat class up to 1.5 t and won ahead of the Swiss yacht Lérina , which had won the first race in this boat class.
