The ''
Livonian Chronicle of Henry'' () is a
Latin narrative of events in
Livonia (roughly corresponding to today's
Estonia and the northern part of
Latvia) and surrounding areas from 1180 to 1227. It was written by a priest named
Henry. Apart from some references in '''' – a patriotic work by the 12th-century Danish historian
Saxo Grammaticus – and few mentions in the ''
Primary Chronicle'' compiled in
Kievan Rus', the Chronicle of Henry is the oldest known written document about the history of Estonia and Latvia.
