Lieutenant Colonel James Ogilvie-Grant, 9th Earl of Seafield, DL (27 December 1817 – 5 June 1888),[1] known as The Hon.

James Ogilvie-Grant from 1840 to 1884, was a Scottish peer, Conservative politician and soldier.

He achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel in the British Army, serving with the Elginshire Volunteers.

This title, a revival of the barony created for his elder brother in 1858, gave him an automatic seat in the House of Lords.

[3] Lord Seafield died in June 1888, aged 70, and was succeeded by his eldest son from his first marriage, Francis William Ogilvie-Grant.
