Harry Reginald Jenkins

Harry Reginald Jenkins (24 October 1881 – 21 June 1970) was a New Zealand Member of Parliament for Parnell in Auckland, New Zealand, representing the United Party.

Jenkins represented the Parnell electorate from the 1928 general election to his resignation in 1930.

In March 1930, Jenkins left the United Party and announced that he believed that the Reform Party leader, Gordon Coates, was "the ablest man in Parliament". He subsequently resigned his seat and then sought the Reform nomination in the by-election. Instead, Reform selected Bill Endean as its candidate. Endean won the by-election on 7 May 1930.
