Hendrikus "Henk" Fraser (born 7 July 1966 in Paramaribo, Suriname)[1] is a Dutch football manager and former player, who is currently the manager of Eredivisie side Vitesse. He played as a defender and earned seven caps for the Netherlands national football team in which he scored one goal. He was a member of the Dutch team at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy under manager Leo Beenhakker. He made his debut for the Netherlands on 6 September 1989, in a friendly against Denmark (2-2).

Fraser played for Sparta Rotterdam (1984–86), FC Utrecht (1986–88), Roda JC (1988–90), and Feyenoord Rotterdam (1990–99), with whom he won the Dutch title twice (in 1993 and 1999). After his professional career he became a youth coach at Feyenoord.

Being assistant of Maurice Steijn for two years, Fraser became first the caretaking manager of ADO Den Haag after Steijn had been sacked. However, a month later he signed deal with the club to be the permanent manager until the summer of 2016.
