Harold K. Brainsby (5 December 1910–1975) was an English-New Zealand sports figure of the early to mid-1930s.
A native of Birmingham, Brainsby competed for New Zealand at the 1934 British Empire Games, where he won the bronze medal in the triple jump. He was also a competitor in the long jump where he placed 7th.[1]
Following a career as a journalist for the Auckland Star, one of two daily newspapers published at the time in New Zealand's largest city, he joined, in 1952, the Highland Park law firm of Melville Churton, which became Melville Churton & Brainsby and, in 1962, Churton, Brainsby & Hart.[2]
He died in 1975 at the age of 64.
