Father Hendricks (18?? - 1907?) was a Dutch missionary.

He arrived in Kashgar in 1885 and remained there until his death. During his stay in Kashgar, Father Hendricks clashed with Nikolai Petrovsky, the Russian consul-general, and lived for a time with George Macartney at Chini-Bagh. Hendricks ran his church out of a mud hut and was apparently able to only convert one person during his time in Kashgar.

Father Hendricks died of cancer and was carried to his grave by a Cossack escort.
