Stephen Henry (in French, Étienne Henri, in Old French, Estienne Henri; c. 1045 – 19 May 1102) was the count of Blois and Chartres. He led an army during the First Crusade, was at the surrender of the city of Nicaea, and directed the siege of Antioch. Returning home without fulfilling his crusader vows, Stephen joined the crusade of 1101. Making his way to Jerusalem, he fought in the Second Battle of Ramla, where he was captured and later executed.
