Henry Coote, 5th Earl of Mountrath (4 January 1684 – 27 March 1720), styled The Honourable Henry Coote until 1715, was an Irish peer and politician who sat in the British House of Commons from 1715 to 1720.
As the earldom was Irish, it did not disqualify him from keeping his seat when he succeeded his brother, and he remained Member for Knaresborough until his death five years later.
[1] Mountrath died unmarried, and the title passed to his younger brother, Algernon (1689–1744).
