Robert Heaton Rhodes

Robert Heaton Rhodes (1815 – 1 June 1884) was a New Zealand politician, who represented the Akaroa electorate from 1871 to 1874, when he resigned.

Born in England, he followed his brothers, including William Barnard Rhodes to New Zealand in 1850, having worked in Australia. He lived at Purau and managed properties on Banks Peninsula belonging to the Rhodes brothers. He built a large house in Christchurch, "Elmwood", where he died. He was a founder of several early business enterprises, including the New Zealand Shipping Company and the Kaiapoi Woollen Manufacturing Company.

His eldest son Sir Heaton Rhodes (1861 - 1956) had a long Parliamentary career.
