Henry John Brinsley Manners, 8th Duke of Rutland, KG, TD (16 April 1852 – 8 May 1925), styled Marquess of Granby between 1888 and 1906, was a British peer and Conservative politician.

Just before Rutland's second birthday, his mother died aged 23 from childbirth complications, weeks after giving birth to a daughter, Edith Katharine Mary, who lived only 12 days.

[1] In 1888, when his father inherited the Dukedom and took his place in the House of Lords, Rutland succeeded him as Member of Parliament for Melton, a seat he held until 1895.

[7] He served as Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire from November 1900[8] until his death in 1925, and was also President of the North British Academy of Arts at its inauguration and for many years.

They had five children,[5] though their two youngest were likely fathered by other men: Rutland died in May 1925, aged 73, and was succeeded in the dukedom by his second and only surviving son, John.
