Charles Harbord, 5th Baron Suffield GCVO KCB PC JP DL (2 January 1830 – 9 April 1914), was a British peer, courtier and Liberal politician. A close friend of Edward VII, he served as a Lord of the Bedchamber and Lord-in-Waiting to the King. He also held political office as Master of the Buckhounds under William Gladstone between February and July 1886.

Harbord was a son of Edward Harbord, 3rd Baron Suffield. He was educated at King's College School. His father died in 1835 and in 1853, his childless, elder half-brother (his father's successor) died and Harbord inherited the title.

Lord Suffield was appointed a Lord-in-Waiting in 1868 in William Gladstone's first administration, a post he held until 1872. The latter year he was appointed Lord of the Bedchamber to the Prince of Wales, to whom he was a close friend. He was Chief of Staff to the Prince of Wales during the Prince's expedition to India in 1875-76. He did not serve in Gladstone's second administration but was briefly Master of the Buckhounds from February to July 1886 in Gladstone's third administration. He was sworn of the Privy Council in February 1886. He remained Lord of the Bedchamber until 1901, when on the Prince of Wales's accession to the throne, Suffield was made a Lord-in-Waiting-in-Ordinary to the King.
