{{short description|American mathematician}}

Diane Marie Henderson is an American applied mathematician, specializing in fluid dynamics and mathematical oceanography.{{r|collab}} Unusually for a mathematics professor, some of her research involves physical experiments with wave tanks, high speed cameras, and oil droplets.{{r|pinch}}

Henderson earned her Ph.D. in physical oceanography{{r|pinch}} from the University of California, San Diego in 1990. Her dissertation, Faraday Waves, was supervised by John W. Miles.{{r|mgp}}

She is a professor of mathematics at Pennsylvania State University{{r|psufac}} and one of two faculty members leading the William G. Pritchard Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University.{{r|wgp}}

Henderson is a 1992 Packard Foundation Fellow.{{r|packard}}

She was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship in 1996.{{r|sloan}}
