Henry William Majendie (12 February 1840 – 13 December 1923) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.

The son of George John Majendie, he was born in February 1840 at Calne, Wiltshire. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] matriculating in 1858 at Exeter College, Oxford, graduating B.A. in 1863 and M.A. in 1866.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1860.[3] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed in the Oxford first-innings for 4 runs by William Martingell.[4] While at Oxford, Majendie was a student of the Middle Temple.[1]

After graduating from Oxford, he took holy orders in the Church of England. Having held a number of ecclesiastical posts between 1866 and 1875, he became vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Barnstaple in 1875.[2] From 1884 to 1900, he was the vicar of Tormohun, Devon.[5] From 1904, he was vicar of Ilsham in Torquay,[1] in addition to being an honorary canon of Exeter Cathedral.[6] Majendie died at Charminster in December 1923. His son, Vivian, was a general in the British Army and also played first-class cricket.
