Henry Norman Potterton (3 April 1897 — 2 February 1980) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Based in Dublin, Potterton captained the city's Wanderers club. He enlisted with the Ulster Division in 1914, despite being underage, and during the war saw active service in France, where he drove an ambulance.[1] In 1920, Potterton was capped for Ireland in a Five Nations match against Wales at Cardiff, as a back row forward.[2]
