Count Hugo Karl Anton Lazarus Henckel von Donnersmarck (26 April 1811 – 4 October 1890) was a German-Austrian entrepreneur, landowner, and industrialist. He was active in agriculture, livestock, and the metal industry and built the first puddling and steel rolling mill in Germany. He later built a soda-pulp and paper mill in Frantschach-Sankt Gertraud, which remains the town's largest employer. Henckel von Donnersmarck rebuilt Wolfsberg Castle in Carinthia and built the Palais Henckel von Donnersmarck in Vienna.
