Some of the instruments Kamerlingh Onnes devised for his experiments can be seen at the Boerhaave Museum in [[Leiden]]. The apparatus he used to first liquefy helium is on display in the lobby of the physics department at [[Leiden University]], where the low-temperature lab is also named in his honor. His student and successor as director of the lab [[Willem Hendrik Keesom]] was the first person who was able to solidify helium, in 1926. The former Kamerlingh Onnes laboratory building is currently the Law Faculty at Leiden University and is known as "Kamerlingh Onnes Gebouw" (Kamerlingh Onnes Building), often shortened to "KOG". The current science faculty has a "Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratorium" named after him, as well as a plaque and several machines used by Kamerling Onnes in the main hall of the physics department.

The [[Kamerlingh Onnes Award]] (1948) and the [[Kamerlingh Onnes Prize]] (2000) were established in his honour, recognising further advances in low-temperature science.

The [[Rollin film|Onnes effect]] referring to the creeping of [[superfluid]] helium is named in his honor.

The crater [[Kamerlingh Onnes (crater)|Kamerlingh Onnes]] on the Moon is named after him.

Onnes is also credited with coining the word "[[enthalpy]]".<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/ed079p697 |last=Howard|first=Irmgard |year=2002|title=H Is for Enthalpy, Thanks to Heike Kamerlingh Onnes and Alfred W.
