Richard Curzon-Howe, 1st Earl Howe
- Richard Curzon-Howe, 1st Earl Howe
Richard William Penn Curzon-Howe, 1st Earl Howe, GCH, PC (11 December 1796–12 May 1870) was a British peer and courtier.
Curzon was the third (but first surviving son) of Hon. Penn Curzon (the eldest surviving son of the 1st Viscount Curzon) and his wife, Sophia, "suo jure" Baroness Howe (the eldest daughter of the 1st Earl Howe of the first creation).
As his father predeceased him, Curzon inherited his grandfather's viscountcy in 1820. He took the additional name of Howe by Royal Licence a year later and was created Earl Howe (a title previously held by his maternal grandfather) that year. From 1829-30, he was a Tory Lord of the Bedchamber to George IV, appointed a GCH in 1830 and was Lord Chamberlain to The Queen from 1830-31 and again from 1834-37. On his mother's death in 1835, he inherited her barony. On his own death in 1870, his titles passed to his eldest son, George.
