Ian Henderson (born 24 January 1985) is an English footballer who plays for Rotherham United, on loan from Norwich City. He is a striker, although he has also played a number of games as a right midfielder.

Henderson is a product of the youth academy at Norwich City and was heralded as a very promising young player. He made the first team squad for the first time in November 2001 when he was an unused substitute against Coventry City at Carrow Road. Had he come on and played, he would have been the youngest player ever to feature for City in a competitive match. His first team debut would come in October 2002 against Coventry at Highfield Road and his first goal for the club came the following month in a 4-2 defeat at Wimbledon.

The 2003-04 season saw Henderson win a first division championship medal as Norwich won promotion to the premiership. He scored four goals that season - including 2 in a 3-1 defeat of Millwall - and created a number of goals for other players. He signed a new contract in the summer of 2004 but has found it difficult to establish himself as a first team regular, making only a handful of appearances in the two subsequent seasons. His Norwich career suffered a further set back after he was out of action for 8 weeks with ligament damage following a tackle in a League Cup match at Rotherham United on 19 September 2006. After recovering, he signed with Rotherham United on a loan deal that could run until the end of the 06/07 season in January 2007.
