Henk Wisman (born May 19, 1957 in Amsterdam, North Holland) is a Dutch football manager, who was the coach of the Armenia national football team for around a year.

Wisman began his career at AFC Ajax, having played in their youth system. Despite gaining international experience as a young player, as a member of the Dutch Under-16, Under-17, Under-18 and Under-21 teams, Wisman never secured a place in the first team. After eight years at Ajax, Wisman left the club in 1975 and went on to play at FC Amsterdam and SC Amersfoort. He retired as a professional player in 1980, although remained a player-coach at amateur level for a short while.

Wisman went on to spend 19 years working with amateur clubs in the Netherlands, before taking over as head coach of FC Volendam in 2000, and later to FC Den Bosch.

Wisman was appointed to the role in May 2005, replacing Bernard Casoni. In addition to his role as international coach, Wisman also coaches Armenian club side FC Pyunik, leading them to their fifth successive league title at the end of the 2005 season.

On April 7, 2006, Wisman was fired from Armenian national manager position. During 2006/2007 winter he also left Pyunik manager job and returned to Netherlands, signing for Fortuna Sittard. There he was sacked on December 15, 2007 due, according to the club, to a poor relationship with the squad.

A few months later he was appointed manager of FC Omniworld.
