'''Heinrich Repke''' ({{born in |31 March 1877}} in Werne, {{died in|25 December 1962}} in Wiedenbrück) was a German painter. He belonged to the ''Wiedenbrücker Schule'' school of arts.
Until 1895, Heinrich Repke was trained as an ornamental painter in the studio of ''Georg Goldkuhle'' in Wiedenbrück. He was trained as a portrait painter in the same studio before studying at the ''Dusseldorf Academy of Arts'' in 1899. He already returned to Wiedenbrück in 1900 though in order to finish the works of his deceased master Georg Goldkuhle. In 1907, Repke opened a studio for religious art.<ref>''[https://www.die-glocke.de/lokalnachrichten/kreisguetersloh/Repkes-Hauptwerk-haengt-im-Museum-c368550e-69c2-4366-aa0b-b5e0d1476941-ds Repkes Hauptwerk hängt im Museum]{{Dead link|date=July 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}''.

In the time of National Socialism, four of his paintings (one peasant painting, three still lifes) were exhibited at the ''Great German Arts Exhibition'' in Munich.<ref>GDK-Research.

In Rheda-Wiedenbrück and in Werne, streets are named after Repke.
