Sir Henry Edward Manning, KBE QC (18 December 1877 – 3 May 1963) was an Australian lawyer and politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council for 25 years from 1932 to 1958 and also served as the Attorney General and Vice-President of the Executive Council from 1932 to 1941.
Henry Edward Manning was born on 18 December 1877 in Sydney, New South Wales, the son of Sir William Patrick Manning, a prominent financier and future MP and Mayor of Sydney, and his wife Honora Torphy. Initially educated at Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview, Manning went on to study at the University of Sydney. Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in 1900 and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in 1902, Manning was called to the Bar in 1902. After distinguishing himself in the NSW Western Circuit Court, Manning became an associate to Justice Richard O'Connor and a law reporter to the High Court of Australia from 1904 to 1905. In 1904 Manning married Nora Antonia Martin, the youngest daughter of Sir James Martin, and they would have two daughters.
From 1905 Manning returned to practice at the New South Wales Bar, where he established a reputation in common law and the Vice Admiralty Court of New South Wales. Manning was appointed a King's Counsel (KC) in 1927 and was appointed as a deputy Judge of the Land and Valuation Court in 1929.
