Charles Sackville-Germain, 5th Duke of Dorset

Memorial to Charles Sackvile-Germain, 5th Duke of Dorset in St Peter's Church, Lowick

Charles Sackville-Germain, 5th Duke of Dorset, KG, PC (27 August 1767 – 29 July 1843), known briefly as Charles Sackville before 1770, as Charles Germain between 1770 and 1785, and as The Viscount Sackville between 1785 and 1815, was a British peer and courtier.

Born Charles Sackville, he was the eldest son of Lord George Sackville. Charles' father changed the family surname to Germain in 1770 and Charles re-incorporated the former surname as a double-barrelled one later in life.

From 1776 to 1815, Germain was Receiver General of Jamaica. In 1785, he inherited his father's viscountcy of Sackville and then his cousin's dukedom of Dorset in 1815. He was appointed a Privy Councillor and Master of the Horse in 1821. Serving in that office until 1827 and again in 1835, he was also appointed a Knight of the Garter in 1826.

Dorset died unmarried and childless in 1843 and all of his titles became extinct. His memorial is in St Peter's Church, Lowick, Northamptonshire. It comprises a white marble chest-tomb by Richard Westmacott and has a draped mantle, shield and coronet with a lifesize angel seated alongside.
