Henning Grenander (4 August 1874 – 11 March 1958) was a Swedish figure skater.

Grenander was born on 4 August 1874 in Skövde, Sweden. He began attending a school in Stockholm when he was 8 and began learning how to skate when he was 11.[1]

He won a silver medal at the 1893 European Figure Skating Championships but the results were declared invalid by ISU over issues with the scoring rules.[2]

In 1898 he moved to London and worked in a Swedish bank.[1] He won the gold medal at the 1898 World Figure Skating Championships[2] and decided to stay in London after the games. He became a Swedish masseur[1] and became involved with the National Skating Association.[2]

He helped plan the 1908 Summer Olympics and was a judge in the men's singles figure skating and men's special figures events.[2]

He died in a nursing home in Torquay, England on 11 March 1958.[1]
