Josef Anton Henne (known as Anton Henne, born 22 July 1798 in Sargans, died 22 November 1870 in Wolfhalden, Appenzell) was a Swiss historian and politician active during the formative phase of the modern Swiss state.
He entered Pfävers abbey at the age of 12 and became a novice at 17, but after a period of uncertainty, he left the monastery on 22 July 1817.
Henne was president of the Catholic educational council from 1833, in which position he founded the journal Der Gärtner.
In 1834, Henne took the post of professor of history and geography in a new Catholic high school which had been organized according to his ideals by the canton of St. Gallen.
Tensions with the Catholic political authorities escalated in 1841, and Henne lost his post at the cantonal school.
