Sir Brograve Campbell Beauchamp, 2nd Baronet (5 May 1897 – 25 August 1976) was a British and National Liberal and Conservative Party politician.

Beauchamp was the son of the Liberal politician and Lloyd's chairman Sir Edward Beauchamp, 1st Baronet and his second wife Betty Campbell Beauchamp (née Woods). He was educated at Eton College, and succeeded to the baronetcy in 1925 on the death of his father. The title became extinct on his death.

Political career

At the 1922 general election, Beauchamp stood as a National Liberal candidate for the Lowestoft division of Suffolk. His father had just stepped down as the constituency's MP, and Brograve hoped to win the seat, but he lost heavily. He did not stand again until the 1931 general election, when he was elected as the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Eastern division of Walthamstow. He was re-elected in 1935, and held the seat until he retired from Parliament at the 1945 general election.

Family

Beauchamp was in October 1923 to married Evelyn Leonora Almina Beauchamp (née Herbert), daughter of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon. They had one child, Patricia Evelyn Beauchamp (born 1925).
