Sir Robert Mafeking Macfarlane {{post-nominals|country=NZL|KCMG}} (17 May 1900 – 2 December 1982) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party. He was a Member of Parliament, served as Speaker of the House of Representatives and was a Mayor of Christchurch.

Early life

Macfarlane was born in Christchurch in 1900. He married Louisa Jacobs in 1932.[1]

He was the Member of Parliament for Christchurch South from 1939 to 1946, then for Christchurch Central from 1946 to 1969, when he retired.

Speaker of the House of Representatives

He was the 14th Speaker of the House of Representatives, from 1958 to 1960.[4]

Honours

In the 1954 Queen's Birthday Honours, Macfarlane was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George,[5] and in the 1974 New Year Honours he was elevated to Knight Commander of the same order.[6]

Military service

In World War II he served in the Middle East in the ASC of the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force for 2½ years.
