Henry Buckley (21 June 1813 – 14 April 1888) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for two terms between 1856 and 1859 and after the creation of the separate colony of Queensland he became a member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland.
Buckley was born in Yorkshire, Northern England, and was the son of a wool merchant. He was educated at a Moravian Boys' School in Fairfield near Manchester and emigrated to Sydney in 1834. He initially worked as a merchant but soon made a substantial fortune and purchased pastoral land near Queanbeyan. He moved to Brisbane in 1849 and continued to act as a merchant and as an agent for insurance firms.
The area which is now Queensland was part of New South Wales when responsible self-government was initially granted to that colony in 1856. At the first election for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly Buckley won the seat of Stanley County which was based on the hinterland of Brisbane. He retained the seat at the 1858 election but the seat was abolished prior to the 1859 election, which Buckley did not contest.[1] However, at the first elections held after Queensland became a separate colony in 1860, he won the seat of East Moreton in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland.[2] He resigned from parliament later that year to become Queensland's Auditor-general.
Buckley died in 1888 and was buried in Toowong Cemetery.[3]
A number of street names in the Brisbane suburb of Carina Heights are identical to the surnames of former Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. One of these is Buckley Street.
