James Coutts Crawford (19 January 1817 – 8 April 1889), known as Coutts Crawford, was a naval officer, farmer, scientist, explorer and public servant in New Zealand.
He was born in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1817 and came to New Zealand in 1839. He settled in Wellington, owning the Miramar peninsula and parts of Rongotai and Kilbirnie, which he named after the town in Scotland.[1] Crawford was active in local affairs. He served on the New Zealand Legislative Council from 1859 to 1867. He died in London in 1889.[2]
Mount Crawford (South Australia) and several locations in Wellington are named after him.[3][4]
