Baron Henrik Viktor Knut von Düben von Düben (21 October 1818 – 21 August 1867) was a Swedish peer, politician, lieutenant, estate owner, second great-grandson of organist and composer Gustaf Düben.[1]

The fourth child in a Noble family, he had two sisters and three brothers, among others writer Cesar von Düben. Carolina Maria was born in Swedish Pomerania, thus of German descent, while Anders Gustaf had Dutch, French, German and Scottish ancestry.[2] Both his father and his grandfather was closely linked to the Royal Court of Sweden. His father was a prominent courtier and close friend of Gustav, Prince of Vasa, and his grandfather Henrik Jakob von Düben was a hofmarschall.[2]
