- James Talbot, 4th Baron Talbot of Malahide
James Talbot, 4th Baron Talbot of Malahide FRS (22 November 1805-14 April 1883), was an Anglo-Irish Liberal politician and amateur archaeologist.
Talbot was the son of James Talbot, 3rd Baron Talbot of Malahide, and Anne Sarah, daughter of Samuel Rodbard. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1832 Talbot was elected to the House of Commons for Athlone, but did not contest the 1835 general election. He succeeded his father as fourth Baron Talbot of Malahide in 1850 and in 1856 he was created a peer of the United Kingdom as Baron Talbot de Malahide, in the County of Dublin. This gave him a seat in the House of Lords and from 1863 to 1866 he served as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip) in the Liberal administrations of Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell.
Talbot was also a noted amateur archaeologist and an active member of the Royal Archaeological Institute, serving as president for 30 years before announcing his intention to retire in 1882.

Lord Talbot of Malahide married Maria Margaretta, daughter of Patrick Murray, in 1842. He died in Madeira in April 1883, aged 77, and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son Richard Wogan Talbot.
