Henry Archdall Langley (15 October 1840 – 5 August 1906) was an influential Irish-born Anglican priest, of considerable physical strength,[1] who migrated to Australia in 1853, and became the first Bishop of Bendigo from 1902 until his death in 1906.[2]

Many of his 12 children made notable contributions to Australian society in the domains of business, education, medicine; also, two of them became Anglican bishops.
