John Davies Ormond

John Davies Ormond (31 May 1831 – 6 October 1917) was a New Zealand politician whose positions included Superintendent of Hawke's Bay Province, Minister of Public Works and member of the New Zealand Legislative Council.

He was appointed to the Legislative Council on 20 January 1891 and served until his death on 6 October 1917.

[1] He was appointed to the Council as one of seven new members (including Harry Atkinson himself) appointed to the Council by the outgoing fourth Atkinson Ministry; a move regarded by Liberals as a stacking of the upper house against the new government.

Businessman and farmer Sir John Ormond, politician and farmer Tiaki Omana, and politician and Historic Places Trust chairman Ormond Wilson[3] were his grandsons.

His brother-in-law and husband of his sister was the Governor of Jamaica, Edward John Eyre.
