Arthur Claud Spencer Chichester, 4th Baron Templemore KCVO DSO OBE PC DL (12 September 1880 – 2 October 1953) was a British soldier and politician of Anglo-Irish descent.
Chichester was the eldest son of the 3rd Baron Templemore and his wife, Evelyn (née Stracey-Clitherow). He was educated at Harrow and trained at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Before being commissioned into the Royal Fusiliers in 1900, he fought in the Boer War and also served in Mauritius, India, and the British expedition to Tibet.
By now a Captain, Chichester distinguished himself in the First World War with his service in France and Italy, becoming a Major with the Irish Guards and winning along with many other awards the DSO (1918) and an OBE (1919).
In 1924, he succeeded his father as fourth Baron Templemore, and three years later was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Earl of Onslow as Under-Secretary of State for War and Paymaster General.
