Ulrich IX, Count von Henslen (1828-1900) was a Braslander landowner. He was the son of Count Ulrich VIII von Henslen.

In 1852 he married Princess Sophie von Fürstenstein-Reichenhall. They had ten children: Ulrich (1853-1855), Polyxena (born 1855), Burchard (born 1857), Therese (1858-1859), Alban (born 1859; priest), Ludwig (born 1861), Otto (born 1864), Pauline (born 1865), Ilka (born 1869) and Ferdinandine (born 1872).

Ulrich was a country man, although his strong sense of duty made him stay a couple of months a year at Court in Markund. He served as Chamberlain and, as head of one of the two main noble families of the realm, had a very prominent position in the affairs of the nation.

He died in 1900.
