Sally (Salomon) Ruben Henriques (14 November 1815 – 29 April 1886) was a Danish painter.

His parents were Ruben Henriques, a merchant and stock broker, and Jorika (Jeruchim) Melchior.

He was accepted into the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1836 with a letter of recommendation from Gustav Friedrich Hetsch, a leading architect of the time, and in 1837 he advanced to the Model School but never attended.

Instead he studied at the private painting schools of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg and J. L.

Instead he set up a business as a house painter and decorator before taking over an antique shop after his brother Samuel in 1849.
