Peter Henderson (24 April 1965 – 28 February 2010) was an Australian cricketer who played a single match for Western Australia. Born in Mount Barker, Western Australia,[1] Henderson represented Western Australia at under-19s level, and later attended the Western Australian Institute of Sport.[2] His sole match at state level came during the 1987–88 McDonald's Cup, a limited-overs knockout competition.[3]

In the match, played at the WACA Ground in March 1988, Henderson was part of a pace attack that included Terry Alderman, Ken MacLeay, and Chris Matthews, but failed to take a wicket, recording figures of 0/50 from 9.1 overs.[4] At grade cricket level, Henderson played 15 seasons for the Scarborough and South Perth Cricket Clubs, captaining and winning club champion awards at both clubs. Bowling right-arm medium pace, he led Scarborough's wicket-taking for the 1987–88 season, taking 60 wickets.[5]

Henderson died in February 2010, with his name commemorated in the Peter Henderson Memorial Trophy, which is contested between Scarborough and South Perth.[6][7]
