Henry Clement Hoyle JP (20 November 1852 – 20 July 1926) was an Australian politician and rugby league football administrator of the 1890s and 1900s.
In 1891, as a member of the Protectionist Party, Hoyle was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for the four-member seat of Redfern.
[6] After his electoral defeat he was employed to write for The Freeman's Journal, and stood again for the seat of Redfern as the Protectionist candidate at the 1895 election but was unsuccessful.
[8] On 8 August 1907 at Bateman's Crystal Hotel, George Street, Hoyle chaired a meeting of fifty, comprising several leading rugby players and officials.
[9] Hoyle then went about making arrangements for a New South Wales representative rugby team to host New Zealand's like-minded All Golds touring side.
He then chaired meetings around Sydney at which he gave speeches to help attract players and clubs to the newly created league, ending up with nine.
At the beginning of the 1909 NSWRFL season, the League, which was almost broke, met and kicked out its founders Hoyle, Victor Trumper and J J Giltinan.
