Henry Redwood (24 January 1823 – 9 November 1907) was a New Zealand farmer, politician and racehorse breeder. He was born in Tixall, Staffordshire, England in 1823. He was a brother of Francis Redwood, a brother in law of Joseph Ward, and an uncle of Vernon Redwood. He lived at Stafford Place in Appleby near Richmond. He was a member of the Nelson Provincial Council from 1863 and of the Marlborough Provincial Council from 1868. He contested the 1871 election in the Wairau electorate against the incumbent, William Henry Eyes, but received just 38% of the votes and was thus unsuccessful.
