LaDarius Henderson (born December 11, 2001) is an American professional football guard for the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Arizona State Sun Devils and Michigan Wolverines. Henderson was a first-team All-Big Ten selection, helping Michigan win a national championship in 2023.

In December 2022, Henderson entered the NCAA transfer portal and committed to the University of Michigan.[6] Henderson explained his transfer decision: "I really just wanted to play with the best offensive line, and I knew Michigan had that. I wanted to get a chance to play with these guys and see how they do things."[7] He missed Michigan's spring practice while completing class work remotely at Arizona State and taking final exams in early May 2023.[8]
In 2023, following his transfer, Henderson appeared in 14 games, starting 10 at left tackle on Michigan’s national championship team.[9] Henderson was named First-team All-Big Ten.
