Lawrence Kavenagh (born 1805 and died on October 13, 1846) was a bushranger who worked alone robbing mail coaches, homesteads and inns for seven months straight and making the Government offer a generous reward for his apprehension in July 1843 when he turned himself in on July 10 after wounding himself in the arm from an accidental discharge of his own gun and walking 28 miles to Bothwell.
On 26 December 1842 Lawrence Kavenagh, Martin Cash and George Jones absconded from a work party. Now naked, the trio robbed a road gang's hut for clothing, and began a seven month spree of bushranging and robbing mail coaches, homesteads and inns.
