Major General Aldred Frederick George Beresford Lumley, 10th Earl of Scarbrough KG GBE KCB TD GCStJ (16 November 1857 – 4 March 1945), styled Viscount Lumley from 1868–84, was an Anglo-Irish peer, soldier and landowner. He was noted for his long service in both the Territorial Army and politics, which included 60 years in the House of Lords, and for his contributions to the growth of the seaside resort of Skegness, Lincolnshire.
Lumley was born at Tickhill Castle, the second son of Richard Lumley, 9th Earl of Scarbrough and Frederica Drummond, granddaughter of the fifth Duke of Rutland. On his paternal grandmother's side of the family, he was descended from the Beresford family; his notable Irish relatives included Bishop George Beresford and the Earl of Tyrone. He was educated at Eton. His elder brother Lyulph, Viscount Lumley died in 1868 at age 18, leaving Aldred as heir to the family titles.
In 1877, he was gazetted to the 7th Hussars. He served for six years and saw service in the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879. He was in Natal at the outbreak of the First Boer War in 1881. In 1883, he left the service to assist his ailing father in the managing of their estates at Sandbeck Park and Lumley Castle. After his father's death the following year, he was forced to let the family seat of Sandbeck Park due to the Great Agricultural Depression.
