Henry Labouchere, Baron Taunton (1798–1869) English politician, of a French Huguenot family, which, on leaving France, settled in Holland. His father, Peter Caesar Labouchere, merchant, was a partner in the wealthy Amsterdam banking firm of Hope & Company; 1 he went to live in England, and married a daughter of Sir Francis Baring. Henry was his elder son, while a younger son, John, was the father of the later well-known Radical member of parliament and proprietor of Truth, Henry Labouchere (1831–1912). He was educated at Winchester and Christ Church, Oxford, and entered the House of Commons as a Whig in 1826. From 1830 to 1858 he sat for Taunton, Somerset. After filling various minor offices, he became president of the Board of Trade in 1839–41; and in 1846 he was chief secretary for Ireland.

In 1859 he was created Baron Taunton, but on his death, on the 13th of July 1869, the title became extinct.
