Matthew ("Matt") T. Henjak (born 25 November 1981 in Queanbeyan, New South Wales) is an Australian rugby union player. His position of choice is scrum-half. Henjak, of Croatian ancestry, is the nephew of former rugby league half-back and Brisbane Broncos head coach Ivan Henjak. After being sacked by the Western Force in 2008 for an off field indiscretion, Henjak signed for Toulon in the Top 14 in France where he played until 2012. From here, he remained in France and is currently plying his trade with French Pro D2 Club, Dax, in the second tier professional competition.
Henjak was educated at St Edmund's College in Canberra, the same school as Matt Giteau, George Gregan and Ricky Stuart. He played for the Canberra Vikings while playing in the Canberra club competition. In 2001 and 2002 Henjak represented Australia in the under 21 side as well as later playing for Australia A.
He made his Super 12 debut in 2003, playing for the ACT Brumbies in a match against the Chiefs.
Henjak was called up into the 27-man national squad as cover mid-year 2004 after Elton Flatley broke his arm. Henjak made his international debut in 2004, on 26 June against England where he came off the bench onto the wing with 10 minutes remaining in the game after Clyde Rathbone was injured.
