Omar Henry (born 23 January 1952 in Stellenbosch, Cape Province) is a former cricketer who played in three Tests and three One Day Internationals for South Africa. He is notable for being the first non-white player of the post-Apartheid era (after Charlie Llewellyn in 1912) to play cricket for South Africa.[1][2] He played extensively in Scotland.

He later served on the South African national selection panel, which he chaired for a time.
