- Henry Waldegrave, 1st Baron Waldegrave
Henry Waldegrave, 1st Baron Waldegrave (1661 – 24 January 1689) was a British peer and Jacobite supporter.
The son of Sir Charles Waldegrave, 3rd Baronet, Waldegrave inherited his father's title in about 1684. A year earlier, he had married Henrietta FitzJames, an illegitimate daughter of King James II and his mistress, Arabella Churchill. As a result of his marriage, he was raised to the peerage as Baron Waldegrave, of Chewton, Somerset, in 1686.
He became Comptroller of the Household that year and continued in this office at the King's court-in-exile at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, until his death in 1689.
