Henrik Björklund (born September 22, 1990) is a Swedish professional ice hockey forward. He is currently playing for Färjestad BK in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

During the 2006–07 season, on March 2, 2007 against the Malmö Redhawks, Björklund, then 16, became the youngest player to ever play with Färjestad BK.
