Sir Herbert Lethington Maitland (12 November 1868 – 23 May 1923) was an Australian surgeon of the head and neck who was an early specialist in rhinoplasty.
He attended Newington College (1883–1887)[2] and went up to the University of Sydney in 1888 from whence he graduated as a Bachelor of Medicine and Chirurgery with first-class honours in 1892.
In 1914 the Maitlands moved to a home and consulting rooms at 147 Macquarie Street, Sydney that is now a wing of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians headquarters.
He played cricket, swam and shot as well as being a noted angler, winning competitions in fly-casting and big-game fishing.
An impromptu mourning procession occurred when doctors, medical students and nurses from Sydney Hospital, and Sydney citizens walked from his home and congregated at Queen Victoria's statue near St James' Church.
