Sir Walter Nash GCMG CH (12 February 1882 - 4 June 1968) served as the 27th Prime Minister of New Zealand in the Second Labour Government from 1957 to 1960, and was also highly influential in his role as Minister of Finance in the First Labour Government. He is noted for his long period of service, having been associated with the Labour Party since its creation. Leaving office at 78 years of age, Nash is to date New Zealand's most elderly prime minister, and is the most recent to have been born outside the country.
