Henry Martin Arens (November 21, 1873 – October 6, 1963) was a politician who served in many offices in Minnesota, including the U.S. House of Representatives.
Arens was born in Westphalia, Germany. He immigrated to the United States in 1889 and was a farmer near Jordan, Minnesota. His first public office was as member of the board of aldermen for Jordan from 1905 to 1913. He went on to become a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives from 1919 to 1923 and in the state senate from 1923 to 1929.
In 1929, he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota and served one two-year term. In 1932 he was elected to the 73rd congress as a member of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party. In 1932, all of Minnesota's representatives were elected at-large. He served only one term, and was defeated in 1934 and again in 1936 when he attempted to retake his seat.
