Arthur Kenlis Maxwell, 11th Baron Farnham, DSO (2 October 1879 – 5 February 1957), was a British Army officer, an Irish representative peer and a Nova Scotia baronet.

He was the son of the 10th Baron Farnham and Lady Florence Jane Taylour, a daughter of the 3rd Marquess of Headfort.

[1] The regiment had embarked for South Africa to fight in the Second Boer War in November 1899, and Maxwell joined them in March 1900, travelling on the SS British Prince.

His son, Somerset, died of wounds in 1942 at the Battle of El Alamein, and so on his own death in 1957 in a Dublin nursing home, his titles and his estate, which UK part amounted to £22,810,[7] passed to his grandson, Barry.
