Henrique Esteves da Veiga de Nápoles, 1st Lord of the Honour of Molelos (1438–1502) was a Portuguese nobleman, privy counsellor and military, the eldest son of João Esteves da Veiga de Nápoles and his wife Leonor Anes de Vasconcelos.

As a wealthy land owner, he supplied the royal armies with a hundred swordsmen and over fifty horsemen during Afonso V's long-lasting wars with Castile, having also fought alongside him at the battle of Toro. In recognition of this support, the king granted him the further Lordships (Senhorios) of Botulho, Nandufe, Mata and Castanheira, having also appointed him a member of his privy council. He began the construction of the Palace (Paço) of Molelos, seat of the Lords of the Honour of Molelos, later Viscounts and Counts of Molelos.
