Frederick William Fane Hervey, 4th Marquess of Bristol (1863 – 1951) was a British nobleman and Conservative Party politician.[1]

He succeeded his uncle Frederick William John Hervey, 3rd Marquess of Bristol in 1907. His father, Lord Augustus Henry Charles Hervey (1837–1875) was the younger brother of the 3rd Marquess.

He was elected at the general election in January 1906 as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bury St Edmunds, and held until he succeeded to the peerage in August 1907.[1]
