Charles Hope Petty-Fitzmaurice, 7th Marquess of Lansdowne (9 January 1917 – 30 August 1944) was the son of Henry Petty-FitzMaurice, 6th Marquess of Lansdowne.
He died in 1944, aged 27 in Italy, killed in action during the Second World War. Lord Lansdowne was unmarried and childless and his titles passed to his cousin, George Petty-Fitzmaurice, as his younger brother had also been killed in action in Normandy three weeks earlier. The Scottish title Lord Nairne however passed to his elder sister Katherine Evelyn Constance Petty-Fitzmaurice (1912–1995), who became the 12th Baroness of Nairne. She also inherited Derreen House and Gardens (Lauragh, County Kerry, Republic of Ireland) from her brother.
