- Algernon Percy, 4th Duke of Northumberland
Algernon Percy, 4th Duke of Northumberland (15 December 1792 – 12 February 1865) was a British aristocrat and Conservative politician, who briefly served as First Lord of the Admiralty in Lord Derby's first government. He was known as Lord Prudhoe from 1816–47 (Prudhoe is a town in Northumberland).
The younger son of the 2nd Duke, he succeeded his brother in 1847. On 25 August 1852, he married Lady Eleanor Grosvenor, a daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Westminster, but had no children, and was succeeded in his title by his cousin, the 2nd Earl of Beverley.
Prudhoe was a good friend of Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin. Prudhoe Bay, on the north coast of Alaska, was named after him.
