Edward Henchy (died c. 1895) was an American Catholic priest. For most of his career, he was a Jesuit, and ministered to mission parishes on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In 1870, he became the president of Loyola College in Maryland, but resigned just six months later due to illness. He returned to his ministry work in eastern Maryland, but resigned from the Jesuit order, becoming a diocesan priest, because the eastern part of Maryland had been transferred from the Archdiocese of Baltimore, where the Jesuits operated, to the Diocese of Wilmington. He died there around 1895.
