Edward Algernon FitzRoy JP DL (24 July 1869 – 3 March 1943) was a British Conservative politician who served as Speaker of the House of Commons from 1928 until his death in 1943.

[2] FitzRoy was the second son of the 3rd Baron Southampton and his second wife, Ismania Catherine Nugent, a granddaughter of Sir Charles Jenkinson, 10th Baronet.

He came from a family with a long line of public service and was a descendant of Charles II's illegitimate son Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Grafton.

Even on the lowest ground of party interest Labour made a grave mistake, for Captain FitzRoy was returned by a resounding majority.

In 1983, Labour MP and then Father of the House John Parker paid a humorous tribute to him: "I remember the first Speaker in my time, Captain Fitzroy.

Parker also reported, "Captain Fitzroy once told me that, as a descendant of Barbara Villiers and Charles II, the most embarrassing thing that he had had to do in the House was to announce the abdication of Edward VIII.
