Admiral Charles Ferdinand Henderson (7 March 1866 – 15 July 1935) was a Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy officer.[1][2]

Born in York, Henderson was the son of William George Henderson, Dean of Carlisle and the brother was Colonel George Francis Robert Henderson. The family had strong naval connections: his grandfather was Admiral George Henderson, himself the son of John Henderson, a long-time secretary of Admiral the Viscount Bridport, whilst an uncle was Rear-Admiral Samuel Hood Henderson.

After attending Leeds Grammar School, he entered HMS Britannia as a cadet in 1878.
