Heinrich von Sandersleben († 1650 ) was a German soldier and court official.

Sandersleben was the son of the Altenburg court marshal Hans von Sandersleben and his wife Martha von Hertell. Apart from his Protestant upbringing, very little is known about Sanders' childhood and youth.

In 1596 Sandersleben enrolled at the University of Jena and from 1609 he lived and worked at the court in Weimar .

On the occasion of the funeral of the (titular) Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxony-Weimar (1603–1619) on August 30, 1619, Sandersleben was first recorded as a castle captain and captain of the guard.

In 1620, Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen accepted Sandersleben into the Fruit Bringing Society . The prince gave him the company name of the joyful and the motto in proper use . As an emblem he was given a wine press, from which red wine runs into a glass . Sandersleben's entry can be found in the Koethen Society Register under no.34.

Guard captain Heinrich von Sandersleben probably died in Weimar in 1650 .
