Henry Albert Boddington (15 June 1863 - 22 March 1938) was a New Zealand cricketer.
Boddington was educated at Nelson College from 1877 to 1880.[1] He worked in New Zealand branches of the Bank of New South Wales for 40 years.
Boddington played first-class cricket for Nelson and Otago between 1880 and 1896.[2] He was a batsman who made some useful scores in an era of very low scoring. His highest score was 46 in Otago's two-wicket victory over Canterbury in 1884–85.[3] His 29, opening Nelson's first innings, was the highest score of the match when Nelson beat Wellington in 1887–88.[4]
Boddington died at his home in the Christchurch suburb of Avonside on 22 March 1938,[5] and was buried at Bromley Cemetery.[6] His wife (née Rutherford) had died two years earlier. Their three daughters and three sons survived them.[7]
