Claude F. Hendrickson, III (born c. 1960) is the owner of Dixie Equipment Co. a dealer for new and recycled commercial and industrial equipment headquartered in Birmingham.

Hendrickson is also an avid collector and flier of vintage airplanes. He was inspired by his father's service as a U. S. Navy pilot and owns a SNJ-4 warbird that his father flew. His purchase of a 1952 AD-4N Skyraider was complicated by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigation. The airplane was seized and placed under ICE control at the Bessemer Airport where Hendrickson stores his planes.

Hendrickson's son, Brother, solicited contributions to fund gift packages for recovering veterans at Walter Reed Hospital for his Eagle Scout project in 2008.
