Henny Kroeze (born 11 March 1952) is a retired Dutch motorcycle racer who competed in speedway. Henny is a ten times Dutch speedway champion. He was also finalist in the Individual Speedway World Championship twice; in 1983 and 1987[2]. Henny was the first Dutchmen to reach the final standing of this championship. He was also the first person to ever score the maximum 21 points during a team league match.
