Henry Augustus Boardman (January 9, 1808 – June 15, 1880) was an American minister and author.
Boardman was born in Troy, N Y , January 9, 1808. He graduated from Yale College in 1829. In the fall of 1830 he entered the Theological Seminary in Princeton, N. J., and in April 1833, was licensed to preach. In September 1833, he was called to the pastorate of the Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, over which he was duly installed, November 8, 1833, and of which he continued in charge until May 1876, when he became Pastor Emeritus. After an interval of feeble health, he died in Philadelphia, June 15, 1880, aged 72 years.
During his long and eminent pastorate, he was repeatedly called to other fields of labor,—notably in May 1853, to the chair of Pastoral Theology in Princeton Seminary. He published many volumes and pamphlets, on theological subjects. The degree of D.D. was conferred on him by Marshall College. He left three sons and two daughters, one son being a graduate of Yale in the Class of 1859.
