Robert Otway-Cave (1796 – 29 November 1844),[1] styled The Honourable from 1839, was a British politician.
Born Robert Otway, he was the only surviving son of Henry Otway and his wife, the 3rd Baroness Braye.[2] His uncle was Sir Robert Otway, 1st Baronet, an admiral in the Royal Navy.[3] In 1818, he took the additional surname Cave by royal sign manual.[3] Otway-Cave entered the British House of Commons in 1826, sitting for Leicester the next four years.[4] In August 1832, he was elected for Tipperary, which he represented until December.[5] He was again returned for the constituency in 1835, a seat he held until his death in 1844.[5]
On 23 October 1833, he married Sophia Burdett, eldest daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet.[2] Otway-Cave died aged 48, after short illness without issue at Bath, Somerset.[3]
