Thomas Houghton Bartley JP (1798 – 25 December 1878) was a New Zealand politician.
Bartley was from Liverpool. Like his brother William, he was a lawyer. In 1838, both of them were in Adelaide.[1] William Bartley stayed in that city and became attorney for the South Australian Company,[2] but Thomas Barley went to New Zealand in 1839 and settled in the Bay of Islands.[3] In 1841, he moved to Auckland, where he worked as a solicitor.[3]
He represented the City of Auckland electorate on the first and second council of the Auckland Province (20 July 1853 – 15 July 1854; 26 October 1855 – 18 August 1857).[4] He was the first Deputy-Superintendent of Auckland Province (18 September 1856 – 11 November 1856)[5] and the first Speaker of the Province (1853–1857).[5] As Speaker, he was succeeded by William Powditch.[5]
Bartley served in the First New Zealand Parliament, representing the City of Auckland electorate. He was elected on 11 August 1853 and resigned on 11 July 1854.[6] He was a member of the Fitzgerald Ministry, led by James FitzGerald, from 11 July 1854 to 2 August 1854.[7]

Bartley resigned from the House of Representatives on 11 August 1854 to take up a position in the Legislative Council,[8] where he served as Speaker from 12 May 1856 to 1 July 1868.[9] His membership of the Legislative Council lapsed on 3 July 1874 due to non-attendance.[8]
Bartley was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1856.[10] He died on 25 December 1878 at his home in Stokes' Point (these days, the locality is the northern landing of the Auckland Harbour Bridge).[11] He is buried in Parnell, Auckland.[3]
