Thomas Bonhôte Henderson (3 January 1875 – 19 April 1920) was an English first-class cricketer and surgeon.

The son of John Henderson, he was born at Paddington in January 1875.[1] He was educated at Winchester College, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1897, making five appearances. In addition to playing for the university, he also appeared in one first-class match for an Oxford University Past and Present team against the touring Gentlemen of Philadelphia in the same year.[3] Henderson later played two first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Cambridge University in 1899 and Oxford University in 1901.[3] In eight first-class matches, he scored a total of 220 runs at an average of 18.33 and a high score of 49. With his right-arm fast-medium bowling, he took 7 wickets at a bowling average of 29.57 and with best figures of 3 for 39.[4] He was described as a “free and stylish batsman, a fast bowler and a keen fieldsman” by the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.[5]

After graduating from Oxford in 1901 with a bachelor in medicine,[1] he became a house surgeon and house physician at St Thomas' Hospital. He was both a fellow of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and the Royal College of Physicians.[2] He married Katharine Emily Smijth-Windham in February 1907, with the couple having one daughter.[1] In the same year he was appointed resident medical officer at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, a post he held until 1909. After, he was a surgical cancer registrar and a clinical assistant at the Hospital for Diseases of the Throat. After, he settled in Salisbury where he was a surgeon at the Salisbury Infirmary. During the First World War, Henderson was the director and surgeon-in-chief of the Hôpital Anglais at Caen in France.[6] Henderson died in April 1920 at Harnham, Wiltshire.[5] His brother was the athlete Walter Henderson.
