Erik Gnupsson or Eiríkr Gnúpsson, also known as Henricus (late 11th to early 12th centuries), may have been a bishop of Greenland.

Very little is known about him.[1] Some considered him as the first bishop of America, residing at Garðar.[2] However, the historical record does not attest to where he held his bishop's seat, and only states that he went in search of Vinland.[3] It cannot be determined from the Icelandic Annals that he went in search of an existing Norse colony in Vinland.[4] The first official bishop in Greenland is Arnald, in 1124.[5]
