Bill Henderson (born 23 November 1929) is an Australian former football (soccer) player.[1][2]

Henderson's debut for Australia playing goalkeeper in 1954 was historic as he became the first second-generation Socceroo—his father Andy Henderson had represented the national team in 1924.[3] Henderson was a member of the Australian team at the 1956 Summer Olympics.[3][4]
