Henryk Wojciech Kasperczak (born July 10, 1946 in Zabrze) is a former Polish footballer, and later a football manager. He played for the Polish national team at the 1974 (third place) and 1978 FIFA World Cup, and won the silver medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada.

Later he turned his attention to coaching, mostly in France. He was also the coach of Wisła Kraków from 2002-2004.

He has also managed several national sides, most recently Senegal (2006-2008), however he quit his post during the 2008 African Cup of Nations following a poor run of results which saw them with 1 point in 2 games in a group they had been expected to win.
