Henry J. Buckoll was an English hymn translator and clergyman active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is primarily remembered for his translations of German and Latin hymns into English, contributing to the broader Victorian movement of making Continental religious poetry accessible to English-speaking congregations. Buckoll worked within the Anglican tradition and participated in the rich tradition of hymn translation that characterized the Oxford Movement and its aftermath. His translations helped bridge liturgical traditions and enriched the English hymnal repertoire during a period of significant ecclesiastical renewal.
