Sir Harry Foley Vernon, 1st Baronet (11 April 1834 – 1 February 1920) was a British Liberal Party politician.
Early life
Born in 1834, Vernon was the son of Thomas Taylor and Jessie Anna Letitia (née Foley) Vernon.
Career
Vernon was elected Liberal MP for East Worcestershire at a by-election in 1861—caused by the death of John Hodgetts-Foley—and held the seat until 1868 when he did not seek re-election.
Vernon was created a Baronet of Hanbury Hall in 1885, in recognition of the way he managed his estate during the Great Depression of British Agriculture.

In 1861, he married Lady Georgina Sophia Baillie-Hamilton, daughter of George and Georgina (née Markham) Baillie-Hamilton and they had at least three children: Auda Letitia (1862–1957); Bowater George Hamilton (1865–1940); and Herbert Edward (1867–1902).
Upon his death in 1920, his son, Bowater George Hamilton Vernon, succeeded to the title, after which it became extinct.
