Victor Albert George Child Villiers, 7th Earl of Jersey, GCB, GCMG, PC, JP, DL (20 March 1845 – 31 May 1915) was a British banker, Conservative politician and colonial administrator from the Villiers family.

Born at Berkeley Square, London,[1] Lord Jersey was the eldest son of George Child Villiers, 6th Earl of Jersey, and Julia Peel, daughter of Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel, Bt.

Lord Salisbury thought that Jersey had found that there was "less individual power to his office than he imagined".

Jersey himself wrote to the Colonial Secretary: "the duties and responsibilities of a governor can hardly be called serious nowadays being chiefly of a social character".

[1] Lord Jersey represented the United Kingdom at the 1894 Colonial Conference in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

He also acted as Agent-General for New South Wales in London between 1903 and 1905 and through his ties with the banking institutions helped the state's loan negotiations.

[citation needed] He was made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath in the 1900 Birthday Honours.

They had six children: Having suffered a stroke in 1909, Lord Jersey died at Osterley Park, Middlesex,[1] in May 1915, aged 70.

[citation needed] The Countess of Jersey survived her husband by 30 years and died at Middleton Park, Oxfordshire,[1] in May 1945, aged 95.
