Henry Troutt Akin Jr. (July 31, 1944 – February 16, 2020) was an American professional basketball player. He played college basketball for the Morehead State Eagles where he was a two-time first-team all-conference player in 1964 and 1965. Akin left the team before his senior season when he met his future wife and returned to his home state of Michigan. The New York Knicks had scouted Akin during his college career and selected him as the 11th overall pick in the 1966 NBA draft. He played one season with the Knicks and was then selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1967 NBA expansion draft. Akin was a member of the SuperSonics during their inaugural season but was forced to retire due to knee and ankle injuries. He worked as a scout for the SuperSonics after his retirement.
