Charles William Sydney Pierrepont, 4th Earl Manvers, VD (2 August 1854 – 17 July 1926),[1] known as Viscount Newark from 1860 to 1900, was a British nobleman and Conservative Party politician.

Born in London, he was the eldest son of Sydney William Herbert Pierrepont, 3rd Earl Manvers.

He was educated at Eton, and was styled by the courtesy title of Viscount Newark from 1860 until succeeded to his father's peerage in January 1900.

Newark was a sub-lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards from 1872 until retiring in 1880, and subsequently held a variety of positions in the Yeomanry and Volunteers: captain in the South Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Cavalry; major in the 2nd Volunteer Battalion (later 8th Bn), Sherwood Foresters) and honorary colonel from 1904; colonel commanding the North Midland Brigade 1896–1908.
