Henry Lawes Luttrell, 2nd Earl of Carhampton PC (7 August 1743 – 25 April 1821) succeeded to the Earldom and other titles on the death of his father in 1787.
He was a member of the Irish branch of the ancient family of Luttrell and a descendant of Sir Geoffrey de Luterel, who established Luttrellstown Castle, County Dublin in the early 13th century.
He was a Tory Member of Parliament for several constituencies:
* Bossiney 1768–1769

* Old Leighton (Ireland) 1783–1787
* Plympton Erle 1790–1794
