}}Francis Huntly Griffith (1885 – 1958) was a tea and rubber planter in Ceylon and a member of parliament.[1]

Francis Huntly Griffith was born in Glasbury, Wales, in 1885, the only son of Reverend Hubert George Griffith (the vicar of Glasbury) and Marion Tucker.

In October 1928 he married Nancy Barton née Robinson, the only daughter of Sir Arthur Robinson and Lady Annie Summers Robinson, in St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge.[2]

On 12 March 1936 he was appointed as a nominated member of the State Council of Ceylon.[3]

Following Ceylon's first parliamentary elections in 1947, Griffith was appointed as a member of the Ceylon House of Representatives. He was one of six members appointed by the Governor-General, to represent important interests which were not represented or inadequately represented in the House.[4] He resigned from parliament in September 1951 and his position was filled by Robert Singleton-Salmon.[5]
