William Harold Langenberg (13 August 1903 – 27 June 1985) was an Australian international rugby union player.
Born in the Wollongong suburb of Woonona, Langenberg was a prop and played his rugby for St. George.[1]
Langenberg toured New Zealand with the NSW Waratahs in 1928, playing in fixtures against Wanganui and Southland. This has retrospectively come to be considered a Wallabies touring squad as the Waratahs were the country's highest level representative team of the time. He also represented NSW against the All Blacks at the SCG in 1932.[2]
In 1941, Langenberg signed with rugby league club Thirroul.[3]
