Henry Butland

Henry Butland (11 February 1872 – 2 December 1956) was a rugby union player who represented New Zealand in the national side (the All Blacks), playing in the halfback position.

Born in Westport in 1872, he represented West Coast at a provincial level. He was a member of the All Blacks in 1893 and 1894, playing nine matches for the team, but no internationals.

Following the death of Robert Oliphant in January 1956, Butland held the distinction of being the oldest living All Black. He died on 2 December 1956 and was buried at Hokitika Cemetery.
