Henning von Essen (born 20 March 1964) is a Danish former professional darts player.

Von Essen was picked 7 times for Denmark,[1] and in 1987 won the Nordic Cup Open.

He was a dominating figure in Danish darts during the 1980s – but faded away in the beginning at the 1990s

He was part of the Danish team,[2] who played the 1987 WDF World Cup on Danish soil. The same year he won the JFM championships, but amazingly he never won a Danish Championship

In 1988, with his brother Benny, he scored 722.330 points in 24 hours,[3] which still is the Danish record for 2 players.
