Brigitte Heinrich (born June 29, 1941 in Frankfurt am Main - Dec. 29, 1987) was a German journalist, and an Alliance '90/The Greens politician.

In 1966, she became a press spokesperson for the Sozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund.

In 1984, she was elected as a Green Party Member of the European Parliament in Brussels, a position she maintained until her death in 1987 of a heart attack.[1]

After German reunification, it was discovered that she had been recruited by her partner Klaus Croissant as an informant ("Inoffizieller Mitarbeiterin") for the East German Stasi.[2]
