Henry John "Harry" Cockayne-Cust, MP, JP, DL (10 October 1861 – 2 March 1917) was an English politician and editor who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Unionist Party.
Cust was born to Sara Jane Cookson and Henry Cockayne-Cust, and was educated at Eton (where he was captain of the Oppidans) and Trinity College, Cambridge. While at Trinity, he was elected to the Apostles and graduated with second-class honours in the Classical Tripos with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). Initially pursuing a legal career, Cust was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1888 but was not called. Instead he decided to enter Parliament, and won a by-election in 1890 for Stamford, Lincolnshire. He left Parliament at the general election of 1895, but returned five years later in 1900 when he won a seat in the constituency of Bermondsey, remaining until 1906. Meanwhile, he served as Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for Bedfordshire and as Deputy Lieutenant (D.L.) of Bedfordshire, as well as Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for Lincolnshire.
