Friedrich Heinrich Zinckgraf (1878—1954) was a German gallery owner, art dealer and philatelist from Munich.
Zinckgraf is considered to be one of the most famous philatelists. He was an important supporter of the philatelistic department of the Munich City Library. In 1934, he bought the aryanised Gallery Heinemann at the Lenbachplatz.
The Munich Stamp Society endowed a medal in his honour and named it after him. It is awarded each year to engaged young collectors. Already two years after his death, the city of Munich dedicated a street to him in the quarter of Großhadern.
