Derek Henderson (born 9 March 1926) is a former English first-class cricketer and educator.

Henderson was born at Bexhill-on-Sea in March 1926. Following his early initial education, he attended Trinity College, Oxford.[1] He made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1949 against Lancashire at Fenner's.[2] He played first-class cricket for the university until 1950, making a total of eleven appearances.[2] Primarily a medium-fast bowler, Henderson took 30 wickets for the university at an average of 25.90, with best figures of 4/39.[3] While at Oxford, he won a Blue in cricket.[4] He also made four appearances in first-class cricket for the Free Foresters from 1951–1954, with all four matches coming against Oxford University.[2]

After graudating from Trinity College, Henderson began a career in teaching. Alongside Hugh Watts, they purchased the Moor Park Estate in 1964, where they founded the Moor Park School.[5] Now retired from teaching, he lives outside Oxford.[4] His son, Steve Henderson, also played first-class cricket.
