William Henry Vane, 1st Duke of Cleveland, KG (27 July 1766–29 January 1842) was a British peer.
He was born in 1766, the son of the 2nd Earl of Darlington, and was baptised at the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace (with the names William Harry which he later changed to William Henry). He was styled Viscount Barnard from birth.
Lord Barnard was educated at Christ Church, Oxford and on 17 September 1787 he married his cousin, Lady Catherine Powlett (1766–1807), a daughter of the 6th Duke of Bolton.
Barnard was Whig Member of Parliament for Totnes from 1788 to 1790 then for Winchelsea from 1790 to 1792. He married his second wife, Elizabeth Russell (1777–1861), on 27 July 1813.
In 1792, he succeeded his father as 3rd Earl of Darlington, and was created Marquess of Cleveland in 1827. He was later Bearer of the Third Sword at King William IV's coronation on 8 September 1831 and was created Baron Raby, of Raby Castle in the County Palatine of Durham, and Duke of Cleveland in 1833.
In 1810 he successfully laid claim to the Pulteney Estate in Bath after the Countess of Bath died intestate in 1808.
The Duke of Cleveland was created a Knight of the Garter in 1839, died in 1842 and was buried at Staindrop in County Durham.
