Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Alfred Cholmeley Earle Welby KBE JP (22 August 1849 – 18 May 1937) was a Conservative Party politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Taunton from 1895 until 1906.

In 1906 he opted not to stand again in Taunton, but to contest the seat in East Finsbury, but was defeated.

He was a London County Councillor from 1907 to 1910, and during the First World War, he was secretary of the Royal Patriotic Fund Corporation.

He received his education at Eton College,[1] and then entered the British Army in 1867, purchasing a commission in the 85th Regiment of Foot as an ensign.

He was later elected onto the London County Council for the same area between 1907 and 1910, and then served as secretary of the Royal Patriotic Fund Corporation from 1914 to 1920.
