Henry Handcock (2 August 1834 – 1 December 1858)[1][2] was an Irish Conservative politician.

The youngest son of Richard Hancock and Margaret née Harris, Handcock was at some point a captain in the 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot.[1]

Handcock was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Athlone at a by-election in 1856—caused by the appointment of the sitting MP, William Keogh, as a judge of the Court of Common Pleas—but lost the seat less than a year later at the 1857 general election, when he was beaten by the Independent Irish Party candidate, John Ennis.[3]

Handcock died little under a year later while hunting tigers in India.[2] A report on his death, published by The Morning Chronicle, described the incident, where "the enraged animal" caused such injuries that he died within an hour, as the "most melancholy circumstances".[1]
