Nicholas Fitzgerald (7 August 1829 – 17 August 1908) was an Australian politician.
Born in Galway to Francis Fitzgerald and Eleanor Joyes, he attended Trinity College, Dublin from 1848 until he entered King's Inns in 1848 and Queen's College, Galway in 1849. After travelling in Ceylon and India he moved to Victoria in 1859 and established a family brewery at Castlemaine with his brother Edward. The business had soon expanded and Fitzgerald owned property in New South Wales and Queensland. He was a member of the Victorian Legislative Council from 1884 to 1908, and represented Victoria at the Federal Convention in Sydney in 1891 and the Colonial Conference in Ottawa in 1894. In 1863 he had married Marianne O'Shanassy, with whom he had seven sons. Fitzgerald died at St Kilda in 1908.[1]
