Hendrik "Henk" Numan (13 June 1955 – 26 April 2018) was a judoka from the Netherlands, who won a bronze medal in half-heavyweight division (–95 kg) at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. His only loss at that tournament was against the later champion Robert Van De Walle from Belgium. A year earlier, Numan won a bronze medal at the 1979 World Judo Championships. In 1992, he also competed in Japanese professional wrestling for Fighting Network RINGS as a part of Chris Dolman's team.
Numan died at the age of 62 on 26 April 2018. No cause of death was publicly released. However, in an interview with Dutch wrestling coach Bert Kops jr., published a few weeks later, it was revealed that Numan had committed suicide.
