Arsenal had dominated possession against a stodgy visiting side but needed the predatory instincts of Henry - who had replaced Marouane Chamakh on 68 minutes - to seal their progress as he slipped the ball beyond Leeds keeper Andy Lonergan with 12 minutes left.
Henry and his Arsenal team-mates will faceAston Villa in the fourth round courtesy of Henry's 227th goal in an Arsenal shirt.
The scenes of celebration were something to behold after Henry bounded onto Alex Song's pass to beat Lonergan with a trademark finish with his side foot from inside the area.
He is only on loan from New York Red Bulls until the outset of March, but the short-term deal already seems to be a masterstroke by manager Arsene Wenger, who joined in the staggering moments of joy that saw Henry mobbed by his team-mates with the home supporters celebrating like they had lifted the FA Cup..... #AMBROSSED!
