Nathaniel William Levin (4 May 1818 – 30 April 1903) was a merchant and politician in New Zealand.
Levin, born in 1818 in London, England, came to the new settlement of Wellington in 1841, and set himself up in business selling drapery hosiery and haberdashery on Lambton Quay in partnership with Abraham Hort Jr, who would become his brother-in-law.
By 1868, Levin was depressed by the stagnation of the business of the colony and decided to arrange his affairs so he might return to England.
[1] He was appointed on 25 June 1869,[3] and his membership lapsed on 11 January 1871;[4][5][6] he had returned to England at the end of 1869.
[1] His departure followed a widely publicised defamation trial, suing Richard Beaumont for slander after Beumont accused Levin of complicity in Joseph Tetley's fraudulent business activities[7] – despite both Levin and Beaumont being victims of Tetley.
