- John Hobart, 1st Earl of Buckinghamshire
John Hobart, 1st Earl of Buckinghamshire, KB, PC (11 October 1693–22 September 1756) was a British peer.
Hobart was the son of Sir Henry Hobart, 4th Baronet and he inherited his father's title when the latter was killed in a duel in 1698. He was created Baron Hobart in 1728 and Earl of Buckinghamshire in 1746, allegedly helped by the fact that his sister, the Countess of Suffolk, was a longtime mistress of King George II.
He was Member of Parliament for Norfolk from 1727 to 1728.
