Henry Arthur Hewson, OAM (31 December 1914 – 20 November 1999) was an Australian politician.

[1] In 1972, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Country Party member for McMillan, despite receiving only 16.6% of the primary vote.

On polling day, Hewson picked up enough preferences from the DLP and Buchanan to overtake Armitage on the third count.

[2] Despite the Coalition agreement at federal level, relations between the main non-Labor parties in Victoria were somewhat frosty at the time.

The Victorian Liberal Party Executive created an unusual three-way campaign in 1974 by fielding Armitage against Hewson.
