Harry Allwright (1836/1837 – 18 July 1892) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament in Canterbury, New Zealand.
Allwright arrived in Lyttelton on the Cressy on 27 December 1850.[1] He was thus one of the Canterbury Pilgrims.[2]
In 1879, he successfully contested the Lyttelton electorate against the incumbent Hugh Murray-Aynsley.[3] He represented Lyttelton until 1887 when he was defeated by John Joyce.[4]
He died on 18 July 1892 in 277 Armagh Street, Christchurch Central City, after having been ill for several months, aged 55.[1][5]
