Timothy Gallagher (1840 – 24 August 1888) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament from the West Coast, New Zealand.
Gallagher, born in 1840, was from County Donegal in Ireland.[1]
He represented the Westland North electorate from 1868 to 1870, when he resigned[2] owing to urgent and private business affairs.[3][4] During his time in parliament, he had advocated for the abolition of the provincial government system.[5]
Gallagher fell ill with a cold. After a week, he unexpectedly died from pulmonary edema on 24 August 1888 at his home in Westport.[6] He was survived by his wife and their nine children.[1]
