Henry Arthur Cadogan, Viscount Chelsea, born Henry Arthur Cadogan DL (13 June 1868 – 2 July 1908), was a British army officer, civil servant and politician.
This Viscount Chelsea (the title is a courtesy title) was a Conservative Member of the House of Commons (MP) elected twice to the seat of Bury St Edmunds. He was previously a captain in the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers and a civil servant to the Prime Minister. His father was a major developer of part of Kensington and Chelsea and represented the Crown in Ireland. Henry became his expectant heir from the age of 10 but had no sons who survived childhood and he predeceased his father at the age of 40.
His wife, Cecilia Mildred Harriet Sturt, had a less notable career than Henry. She suffered the loss of her husband and two years later, that of their only son but that year married again and being widowed again, married the Duke of Manchester.
Lord Chelsea was the second son of the 5th Earl Cadogan and his first wife, née Lady Beatrix Craven. On 2 August 1878, his older brother died at the age of twelve, so at the age of ten he became the heir to his father's peerage and acquired the courtesy title Viscount Chelsea (originally granted in 1800 in acknowledgment of the family's inheritance of the manor of Chelsea). His father later was appointed to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom and became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1895-1902).
