Henriette Moller (born November 20, 1972, in Mossel Bay, Western Cape) is a South African judoka, who competed in the women's half-middleweight category.[1] She picked up a total of twelve medals in her career, including a silver from the 2004 African Judo Championships in Tunis, Tunisia and a bronze from the 1999 All-Africa Games in Johannesburg, and represented her nation South Africa in the 63-kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics.[2]

Moller qualified as a lone judoka for the South African squad in the women's half-middleweight class (63 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing second and granting a berth from the African Championships in Tunis, Tunisia.[2][3] Moller received a bye in the first round, but fell short in a pulverizing ippon defeat and an ippon seoi nage (one-arm shoulder throw) to North Korea's Hong Ok-song one minute and twenty-two seconds into her subsequent match.[4][5]
