Trevor Ronald Hendy, AM, born on August 7, 1968, is a former Australian professional surf lifesaver renowned for his success in surf lifesaving and endurance sports. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hendy competed in Ironman races, winning the Australian Championship six times and finishing second on three occasions.

Hendy has been inducted into several halls of fame, including the Australian, Queensland, Gold Coast, and Australian Surf Lifesaving Halls of Fame. His sporting achievements extend beyond surf lifesaving, as he later competed in kayak paddling, making the Australian Kayaking team in 1998 for the World Championships and World Cup season. After an impressive European summer where he medalled in Australia's K41000m combination, Hendy retired from professional competition and announced he would not pursue a spot in the 2000 Olympics. Nonetheless, he continued to compete domestically and won Australian Championships into the early 2000s. Following his athletic career, Hendy transitioned into motivational speaking and life coaching. He launched his website, www.trevorhendy.com, in late August 2012. In recognition of his sporting achievements, Hendy was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2000 and received an Australian Sports Medal the same year.
