Theodor Hengst (* 1869 ) was a sculptor from Baden .

Hengst spent his childhood in the Karlsruhe orphanage before starting an apprenticeship with the Karlsruhe sculptor Fidel Binz at the age of 15 . In Freiburg he later became a student of Julius Seitz , through whom he also received several commissions. This included work on the building sculpture of the Freiburg city theater as well as a "copper-driven, now destroyed figure of an apprentice with a weather vane" for the building of the vocational school . He created these, like the imperial count relief from 1903, in collaboration with Ferdinand Kohl . Kohl was also a Seitz student, as was August Müssle , with the Hengst who created the neo-baroque corner rondel of the Dresdner Bank between 1905 and 1910.

Hengst was the brother of the glass painter Max Hengst and of Ottilie Hengst (1854–1910), the mother of the later expressionist Karl Hofer .
