Henk Duut (born 14 January, 1964 in Rotterdam) is a retired Dutch footballer who was active as a defender. Currently he is active as an assistent manager at Feyenoord Rotterdam.

Duut started his football career at amateur side Transvalia ZW in his hometown Rotterdam before being scouted by Feyenoord. At Feyenoord he made his professional debut on 13 March 1982 when Feyenoord won 1-2 in Eindhoven against PSV. For six seasons Duut was part of the Feyenoord squad and during the 1983-84 season he and his team mates won the double (Eredivisie and KNVB Cup). In December 1986 Feyenoord sent Duut on loan to Fortuna Sittard where he finished the season. After that season Fortuna decided to sign Duut and he played another five years for the club based in Limburg.

On 29 April 1992 Duut was said to retire from professional football due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Earlier that year, on 7 February he played his last match with Fortuna Sittard against MVV Maastricht. Duut stayed at Fortuna and since the start of the following season (1992-93) he became a youth coach at the club, which he stayed until 1996 to become Bert van Marwijk's assistent. Van Marwijk left Fortuna in 2000 to become the manager at Feyenoord and Duut took over as a manager. However after 13 matches without any win he was taken out of his position. Again he became a youth coach at the club, until February 2002. In that month he joined Japanese based Oita Trinita to become their manager for a season. He then became Pim Verbeek's assistent manager at the Netherlands Antilles national football team. In June 2004 he re-joined Feyenoord when newly appointed manager Ruud Gullit asked him to become his assistent at the club. After Gullit left Duut remained in his position when his replacement Erwin Koeman arrived.
