Rowland Hill Berkeley, J.P. (1849-1905) was an English grocery merchant, factory owner and Liberal Unionist politician, who served as Lord Mayor of Birmingham, dying in office.

He apprenticed as a grocer in Ashted Row, Birmingham, then set up his own grocery business, eventually operating throughout the city and neighbouring towns of West Bromwich and Walsall.

He nonetheless continued to work, then attended the induction of a new rector, Denton Thompson, at St Martin in the Bull Ring with his wife and one daughter.

[1] He died at his home at 93, Harborne Road, Birmingham,[8][a] that evening from "apoplexy" (now known as a haemorrhagic stroke), within minutes of collapsing.

[1][7][10] His dinner guests at the time included Edmund Whitcombe, superintendent of the Birmingham City Asylum, and the Berkeley's family physician and next-door neighbour, Dr Huxley, who despite their efforts were unable to revive him.
