Henry Bathurst, 4th Earl Bathurst

Henry George Bathurst, 4th Earl Bathurst (24 February 1790 – 25 May 1866), known as Lord Apsley from 1794 to 1834, was a British peer and Tory politician.

Bathurst was the eldest son of Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst, and his wife Lady Georgina (née Lennox), and was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. He was elected to the House of Commons as one of two representatives for Weobley in January 1812, a seat he held until October the same year. He then represented Cirencester until 1834, when he succeeded his father in the earldom and entered the House of Lords. Between 1812 and 1818 he served as a Commissioner of the India Board.

Lord Bathurst died in May 1866, aged 76. He never married and was succeeded in the earldom by his younger brother William.
