Henry Stormont Finch-Hatton, 13th Earl of Winchilsea and 8th Earl of Nottingham (3 November 1852 – 14 August 1927) was an English peer.
He was the second son of George Finch-Hatton, 10th Earl of Winchilsea (1791–1858) and his third wife Frances Margaretta Rice (1820–1909). His maternal grandparents were Edward Royd Rice (1790–1878), British MP for Dover from 1847 to 1857, and Elizabeth Knight (1800–1884).
He was educated at Eton and matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford in 1874, although he remained at the university for only one year.
From 1875 until 1887, he was a cattle-farmer and goldminer in Queensland, Australia.
In 1898, his older brother, Murray Finch-Hatton, 12th Earl of Winchilsea died and was survived by his daughter, therefore, Henry Stormont Finch-Hatton succeeded him, becoming both the Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham.
On 12 January 1882 at St Peter's Church, Eton Square, Middlesex, he married Anne Jane Codrington (died 20 June 1924), daughter of Admiral Sir Henry Codrington and Helen Jane Smith. They had three children:
His brother Harold Finch-Hatton joined him in Queensland, settling in the Mackay area from 1875 to 1883 and wrote an account of his experiences, entitled "Advance Australia".
He died in London on 14 August 1927 at the age of 74 and was buried at Ewerby, Lincolnshire.
