Ulrich X, Count von Henslen (1899-1964) was a Braslander nobleman.
He was born in 1899 as the son of Count Burchard VIII von Henslen, a prominent Conservative politician, and his wife, Countess Iris von Lindau.
In 1920 he fell in love with the young Larissa, daughter of Count Rudolf von Reuthen, a former Liberal politician who had been a rival of Ulrich's father. The couple became secretly engaged, but when this was known by their fathers it caused a great scandal. Initially both noblemen rejected the match, but they were eventually convinced by their families and gave their consent. They married in 1922 and had seven children: Karl von Henslen (born 1923), Maria (born 1924; married to Count Robert von Kulheim), Ulrich (born and died 1926), Dorothea (1927-1938), Rudolf (1928-1929), Katharina (born and died 1931) and Luise (1934-1958).
Count Ulrich died in 1964. His son succeeded him as head of the Henslen family.
