Heinrich Johann (Hennie) Möring (Enschede, August 1, 1919 – Enschede, September 15, 2001) was a Dutch footballer. The defender played for Sportclub Enschede and earned six caps for the Netherlands national team between 1947 and 1949.

Hennie Möring made his debut for Sportclub Enschede in 1936. For fifteen seasons, he was a key player in the first team of the Tukkers (nickname for the club and the Twente region). He developed into a stopperspil—a central defender whose main task was to mark and neutralize the opposing team's striker. While the stopperspil system had gained popularity in major football countries like Italy, France, and Germany, it was not widely used in the Netherlands. SC Enschede was one of the few teams that had replaced the attacking center-half with a purely defensive player.

After the Dutch national team lost 8-2 to England in 1946, Möring was promptly called up for the next international match. On April 7, 1947, against Belgium, he was assigned to mark striker Bert De Cleyn. The Netherlands won the match 2-1. A month later, in the return match in Antwerp, Möring was booed by the crowd for his defensive style of play. Nevertheless, the Netherlands won again, and according to the Dutch media, the stopperspil system played a key role in that victory.

Möring played a total of six times for the national team. After suffering a broken leg in 1948, he lost his spot to Rinus Terlouw. He made one final appearance for the national team in 1949, during which he scored an own goal. Until 1951, he was occasionally called up as a reserve.

In April 1951, Möring ended his career at the highest level. He then became coach of Oldenzaal, a third-division team. In 1952, he led the team to a championship and promotion to the second division. After the introduction of professional football in the Netherlands, Möring coached Oldenzaal for one more year, when they played in the semi-professional First Class C. Later, he became a board member at SC Enschede. He passed away in 2001 at the age of 82.
