- Sir Henry Robinson, 1st Baronet
Sir Henry Augustus Robertson, 1st Baronet, KCB, PC (Ire) (1857 – 16 October 1927) was an Irish civil servant.
Robinson was born in Dublin, the son of Sir Henry Robinson. Although he initially started work in a London merchant's office, he followed his father into the Irish Civil Service at the age of nineteen. He served in a number of temporary positions before being appointed an inspector with the Local Government Board for Ireland, with which he remained for the rest of his career. He eventually became vice-president of the Board, a position previously held by his father, and retired on the formation of the Irish Free State in 1922.
Robinson was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in 1898 and was appointed to the Privy Council of Ireland in 1902, entitling him to the style "The Right Honourable". He was created a Baronet in the 1920 New Year Honours. [LondonGazette |issue=31712 |date=30 December 1919 |startpage=2 |supp=yes]
