Hendrik Cornelis Alexander (Henri) van Booven (17 July 1877 in Haarlem – 31 January 1964 in The Hague) was a Dutch writer and journalist. His most successful work was the novel Tropenwee (1904) ('Tropical agony'): a thinly veiled autobiographical literary report of a mission to Congo in 1898, somewhat similar to Heart of Darkness.
