Henry Wildman (born c. 1837;[1] date of death unknown) was a convict transported to Western Australia, whose claims to have found gold in the Kimberley region prompted exploration of the area during 1864.
Two days after his arrival, Perth daily newspaper The Inquirer quoted Wildman as claiming that, on an early visit to Western Australia, he had found gold in the Camden Harbour area.
In 1856, according to Wildman, he had been first mate on a Dutch ship, Maria Augusta, sailing from Rotterdam to Java, when it was forced to stop in for rudder repairs.
An exploring expedition to the area was launched, under the leadership of Police Inspector Frederick Panter and Dr James Martin.
In his journal of the expedition, Panter mentions Wildman having an epileptic seizure, and reports having him put in irons for insolent conduct.
