Colonel Fulke Southwell Greville-Nugent, 1st Baron Greville (17 February 1821 – 25 January 1883), known as Fulke Greville until 1866, was an Irish Liberal politician.

Early life

He was a member of a junior branch of the Greville family headed by the Earl of Warwick.

He served as an officer in the 1st Life Guards, and in 1850 was appointed Colonel of the disembodied Westmeath Militia. He became the regiment's Honorary Colonel in 1875.

Political career

Greville sat as Member of Parliament for Longford County as a Liberal from 19 July 1852 until 1869, when he was raised to the Peerage of the United Kingdom as Baron Greville, of Clonyn in the County of Westmeath. He had adopted the surname of Nugent-Greville by Royal Patent in 1866. He subsequently served as Lord Lieutenant of Westmeath from 1871 to 1883.
