Clifton Hugh Lancelot de Verdon Wrottesley, 14th Baronet, 6th Baron Wrottesley (born 1968), is an Irish sportsman and British peer.

Wrottesley was born at Hatch Street, Dublin in 1968 to the Hon. Richard Francis Gerard Wrottesley and his wife, Georgina Wrottesley, née Clifton, daughter of Lt. Col. Peter Clifton of Dummer House, Hampshire, and his wife, Patricia Mary Adela Clifton, née Gibson-Watt, of Doldowlod House, Radnorshire.

His first two years were spent in Abbyknockmoy, Co Galway. After his father's death, he moved to Spain with his mother.

He was educated at Eton College, Edinburgh University and Sandhurst (Grenadier Guards).

Through his paternal grandmother he is a descendant of the Stratford family, and through his maternal grandfather the Clan Bruce. He inherited the Wrottesley Barony in 1977 upon the death of his grandfather, his father having died when he was two.

Wrottesley works in property and fine wine. Wrottesley was chair of British Skeleton from 2012-2017 and is a board member of the British Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association (BBSA) since 2012.

HM Revenue and Customs have issued tax demands for 2000 to 2008 on the basis that Wrottesley was domiciled in the UK. Wrottesley has appealed, contending that his domicile of origin is in the Republic of Ireland. The first-tier tribunal has issued a preliminary ruling but has not yet issued a final decision in the case.

Wrottesley competed as an Irish skeleton racer on the Fédération Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing (FIBT) Skeleton Continental circuits in the 2000-2001 season and the FIBT World Cup circuit in the 2001-2002 season. He finished fourth in the Men's Skeleton at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. As of 2014, this remains the best result of any Irish athlete at the Olympic Winter Games.

Wrottesley and his father both competed in bob sleigh for Great Britain before competing for Ireland.
