Sir Sidney Herbert, 1st Baronet (29 July 1890 – 22 March 1939) was a British politician. He served as a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) from 1922 to 1931 and 1932 to 1936.

He was born in 1890, the son of The Hon. Sir Michael Herbert, the British Ambassador to the USA from 1902 to 1903. Michael Herbert was the son of Sidney Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Lea, the statesman and Cabinet Minister by Elizabeth Herbert, Baroness Herbert of Lea, philanthropist and Roman Catholic writer and apologist.

Sidney Herbert was first elected to Parliament in the 1922 general election for the North Yorkshire constituency of Scarborough and Whitby. On 20 April 1931, Herbert took the Chiltern Hundreds, thus resigning from the Commons. The following year, on 12 July 1932, Herbert was returned unopposed in a by-election in the London constituency of Westminster Abbey. On 18 July 1936, Herbert was created a baronet, of Boyton, Wiltshire. Sir Sidney Herbert died in 1939, and a by-election was held to replace him. The baronetcy became extinct.
