Henk Grol (born 14 April 1985 in Veendam, Groningen) is a Dutch judoka.
Grol competed in the 2007 European Judo Championships in Belgrade, Hungary in the men's under 90-kg, as a replacement for Mark Huizinga, who cancelled last minute due to personal problems.
He won gold in the men's under 100-kilo class at the 2008 European Judo Championships in Lisbon, Portugal. He was the youngest European Champion of that year, only 22 years old.
After a highly competitive race against Elco van der Geest, Grol ended up to be the 2008 representative for the men's 100-kg category for the Netherlands at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
