Heinrich Arnold Thaulow (10 June 1808 – 19 August 1894) was a physician who introduced the balneotherapy in Norway.

Thaulow was born in the Duchy of Schleswig to Johan Frederik Thaulow (1768–1833) and Caroline Henriette Tugendreich Looft. He was a brother of Harald Thaulow, and a cousin of Henrik Wergeland, Camilla Collett and Joseph Frantz Oscar Wergeland. In 1834 he married Nicoline Vibe, and was thus son-in-law of Niels Andreas Vibe. He was a grandfather of psychiatrist Henrik Dedichen and physician Carl Looft.

Thaulow is known for introducing the balneotherapy in Norway, establishing a bath in Sandefjord in 1837, and another bath in Modum in 1857. He was decorated Knight of the Order of St. Olav in 1870, and was a Knight of the Order of the Polar Star.
