Charles Alfred Worsley Pelham, 4th Earl of Yarborough KG PC (11 June 1859 – 12 July 1936), styled Lord Worsley until 1875, was a British peer and politician. He served as Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms under Lord Salisbury between 1890 and 1892.
Pelham was the eldest son of Charles Anderson-Pelham, 3rd Earl of Yarborough, and his wife, Lady Victoria Alexandrina Hare, daughter of William Hare, 2nd Earl of Listowel. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. He originally used the surname Anderson-Pelham, but assumed by Royal licence the surname of Pelham only in 1905.
When Yarborough inherited his father's titles in 1875, he took up his seat in the Lords as a Liberal but later became a Conservative over Irish Home Rule. In 1890 he was admitted to the Privy Council and made Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms under Lord Salisbury, a post he held until 1892.
Lord Yarborough was Honorary Colonel of the Lincolnshire Yeomanry. During the Second Anglo-Boer War a new regiment was formed as the Lincolnshire Imperial Yeomanry, of which Yarborough was appointed Lieutenant-colonel in June 1901
