Auston Morgan Rotheram (11 June 1876 to 13 November 1946) was an Irish polo player who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics. He was born at Sallymount House in County Westmeath and died in Cheltenham. Together with Percy O'Reilly, John Hardress Lloyd and John Paul McCann he was a member of the Ireland team that won a silver medal, and the Ireland team was part of the Great Britain Olympic team. The English Wikipedia article on him is brief, so this entry keeps to those facts; polo itself is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets.
