Francis Greville, 5th Earl of Warwick

Francis Richard Charles Greville, 5th Earl of Warwick (9 February 1853 – 15 January 1924), styled Lord Brooke until 1893, was a British Conservative politician.

Warwick was the son of George Greville, 4th Earl of Warwick, and his wife Lady Anne, daughter of Francis Wemyss-Charteris, 9th Earl of Wemyss, and was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. He entered Parliament for Somerset East in a 1879 by-election, a seat he held until 1885, and later represented Colchester from 1888 to 1892. The following year Warwick succeeded his father in the earldom and entered the House of Lords. Between 1901 and 1919 he served as Lord-Lieutenant of Essex.

Lord Warwick married Frances Evelyn, daughter of the Hon. Charles Henry Maynard, in 1881. He died in January 1924, aged 70, and was succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son Leopold. The Countess of Warwick died in July 1938, aged 76.
