Greenway, Francis Howard (1777-1837), Australian architect, whose work is considered the foundation of Australian architecture. He was born in Gloucestershire, England, and after training with British architect John Nash in London, he worked in Bristol, England. His projects there included the Clifton Assembly Rooms (1806). In 1814 he was convicted of forgery and was transported to Australia, where, in spite of his sentence, he was employed by Governor Lachlan Macquarie of New South Wales to make structural reports on new buildings. Within a year Greenway was designing buildings and supervising their construction for Macquarie, and in 1816 he was appointed acting civil architect and assistant engineer for New South Wales. He received a pardon in 1819.

Greenway remained in government service until 1822, and most of his better-known work was completed during this short period. Based on the Georgian style of architecture popular in Britain during his training, Greenway's work includes numerous public buildings. Among the best known are Hyde Park Barracks (1817-1819) in Sydney, Australia; Saint James's Church (1819-1822) in Sydney; Saint Luke's Church (1818-1825) in Liverpool, Australia; Saint Matthew's Church (1819-1822) in Windsor, Australia; and the Macquarie Lighthouse (built 1816; first used, 1818) in Sydney.
