Brownlow Henry George Cecil, 4th Marquess of Exeter PC (20 December 1849 - 9 April 1898), known as Lord Burghley from 1867 to 1895, was a British peer and Conservative politician.

Exeter was the eldest son of William Alleyne Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Exeter, and Lady Georgiana Sophia Pakenham. He was elected to the House of Commons for Northamptonshire North in 1877, a seat he held until 1895, and served under his kinsman Lord Salisbury as Vice-Chamberlain of the Household from 1891 to 1892. In 1891 he was admitted to the Privy Council. He succeeded his father in the marquessate in 1895 and took his seat in the House of Lords.

Lord Exeter married Isabella, daughter of Sir Thomas Whiccote, 7th Baronet, in 1875. He died in April 1898, aged 48, and was succeeded in his titles by his son William. Lady Exeter died in 1917.
