Brooke Mackenzie Henderson (born 10 September 1997) is a Canadian professional golfer on the LPGA Tour.

Henderson was named the Canadian Press female athlete of the year for 2015, 2017 and 2018.[3][4][5] She won her first major at age 18 in 2016 at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, becoming the event's youngest winner.[6] With 13 LPGA wins as of January 2023, Henderson has the most victories of any Canadian golfer on major professional tours.[7][8] She won her second career major title at the 2022 Evian Championship.[9][10]

In November 2019, she was named the winner of the 2019 Founders Award by a vote of fellow golfers on the LPGA Tour as someone "whose behaviour and deeds best exemplify the spirit, ideals, and values of the LPGA."[11]
