Adelbert Wellington Brownlow-Cust, 3rd Earl Brownlow GCVO VD PC DL JP (19 August 1844 – 17 March 1921), was a British soldier, courtier and Conservative politician.
Brownlow was the second son of John Egerton, Viscount Alford, eldest son and heir apparent of John Cust, 1st Earl Brownlow. His mother was Lady Marianne Margaret, daughter of Spencer Compton, 2nd Marquess of Northampton, generally known as Lady Marian Alford. His father died when he was seven years old. He was educated at Eton.
In 1866 Brownlow was elected to the House of Commons for North Shropshire. However, he was forced to resign his seat already the following year when he succeeded in the earldom of Brownlow on the death of his older brother, and entered the House of Lords. He held office under Lord Salisbury as Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board from 1885 to 1886, as Paymaster-General from 1887 to 1889 and as Under-Secretary of State for War from 1889 to 1892 and was admitted to the Privy Council in 1887.
