Henry Roberts (1862 – 1 January 1949) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A halfback, Roberts represented Wellington and Canterbury at a provincial level, and was a member of the first New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1884. He played seven matches for the All Blacks, none of them internationals. His son Teddy, also a halfback, was a member of the All Blacks in 1913, making them the team's first father–son representatives.[1]
Following the death of James O'Donnell in 1942, Roberts held the distinction of being the oldest living All Black.
Roberts also played first-class cricket for Wellington between 1883 and 1890.[1][2]
