Henry Smith Fish (1838 – 23 September 1897) was a 19th century New Zealand politician.
He represented the Dunedin South electorate from 1881 to 1884 when he was defeated, then from 1887 to 1890. He then held one of the three seats for the City of Dunedin multi-member electorate from 1890 to 1893 when he was defeated, and from 1896 to 1897, when he died. He was replaced by Alexander Sligo.[1]
Fish represented liquor interests in Parliament, and was an opponent of Women's suffrage in 1890-93 on their behalf. He paid his anti-suffragist campaigners a bounty for signatures collected, but lost credibility when some signatures were found to be fraudulent.[2]
He was the Mayor of Dunedin from 1870 to 1873.[3]
