Ferdinand Claiborne Latrobe (October 14, 1833 – January 13, 1911) was a seven-term Mayor of Baltimore, a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, and an attorney during the 19th century.

Latrobe was born on October 14, 1833, at a house on South Gay Street in Baltimore.

[citation needed] He then studied law with his father and was admitted to the bar in Maryland in 1859.

While serving in the House he held the position of Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

[1] During this latter term, a seven-mile tunnel was built to direct water from the Gunpowder River to Baltimore.

[1] A 1993 survey of historians, political scientists and urban experts conducted by Melvin G. Holli of the University of Illinois at Chicago ranked Latrobe as the twenty-seventh-best American big-city mayor to have served between the years 1820 and 1993.

Latrobe died on January 13, 1911, at his home at 904 North Charles Street in Baltimore.
