Henry Luttrell (c. 1765 – 19 December 1851) was an English politician, wit and writer of society verse.
He was the illegitimate son of Henry Lawes Luttrell, 2nd Earl of Carhampton, Tory MP and career soldier.
Introduced into London society by the Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, his wit made him popular.
Byron characterized him as "the best sayer of good things, and the most epigrammatic conversationist I ever met"; Sir Walter Scott wrote of him as "the great London wit," and Lady Blessington described him as the one talker "who always makes me think."
[1] Luttrell was himself the subject of one of his friend Sydney Smith's best-known lines, to the effect that his idea of heaven was "eating paté de foie gras to the sound of trumpets".
