Henry Fitzroy James Langley (8 December 1846 – 20 November 1884) was an English cricketer who played two first-class cricket matches during the 1866 Canterbury Cricket Week.[1] In the first of the two matches, he appeared for I Zingari, a wandering amateur cricket club, playing as a specialist batsman, albeit low in the batting order. He scored four runs in the match, although he was not out without scoring in the second innings.[2] In his following match, he batted as number eleven for the Marylebone Cricket Club, and made a duck in the first innings, before once again remaining not out without scoring in the second innings.[3] He continued to play for I Zingari on a number of occasions between 1866 and 1878.[4] He made his highest score for the club in an 1871 match against Huntingdonshire, when he remained 27 not out.[5] He served in Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service.[6] He died in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 20 November 1884.[7]
