Henryk Czapczyk (27 August 1922 – 30 August 2010) was a Polish footballer who played as a striker.
Czapczyk was born at Poznań and started his football career at HCP Poznań. During World War II, he was a Home Army soldier, eventually reaching the rank of lieutenant. He commanded an assault unit during the Warsaw Uprising; after its fall, he was imprisoned in several German camps, before being liberated in May 1945.
He returned to Poland in 1946 to continue his football career. That year, as Warta's captain, he led the team to a second-place finish in the championship and the national title the following year. In 1949, he joined Lech Poznań, where he remained until his retirement in 1953.
