Henry Herbert, 1st Earl of Carnarvon PC (August 20 1741–June 3 1811), known as the Lord Porchester from 1780 to 1793, was a British politician.
Herbert was the son of Major-General the Hon. William Herbert, fifth son of Thomas Herbert, 8th Earl of Pembroke. His mother was Catherine Elizabeth Tewes. He sat in the House of Commons as one of two representatives for Wilton from 1768 to 1780. The latter year he was raised to the peerage as Baron Porchester, of High Clere in the County of Southampton. In 1793 he was further honoured when he was made Earl of the Town and County of Carnarvon. He later served as Master of the Horse from 1806 to 1807 and was admitted to the Privy Council in 1806.

*Henry George Herbert, 2nd Earl of Carnarvon (1772–1833)
