William Lloyd George, 3rd Viscount Tenby (born 7 November 1927) is a British peer and soldier. He is one of the ninety hereditary peers in the House of Lords, elected to remain after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999.

Lord Tenby is the son of Gwilym Lloyd George, 1st Viscount Tenby, and Edna Gwenfrom Jones.

(The 3rd) Lord Tenby's paternal grandfather was Churchill's old chief, David Lloyd George, the famous British Liberal Prime Minister 1916-1922, who also served as Chancellor of the Exchequer 1908-1915. Ironically, David Lloyd George's 1909 Budget, which was rejected out of hand by the House of Lords, paved the way for reform of that House.He was educated at Eastbourne College and at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history in 1949. In 1983, he succeeded to his older brother's title. Lord Tenby served in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, reaching the rank of Captain.

Lloyd George worked as editorial assistant for Herbert Jenkins Ltd from 1951 to 1954 and in the advertisement department of Associated Newspapers from 1954 to 1957. Between 1957 and 1974, he was group advertising manager of United Dominions Trust Ltd and between 1974 and 1987 PR adviser to Chairman of Kleinwort Benson Ltd. In 1985, he became consultant to the Williams Lea Group until 1993. He was director of Ugland International plc from 1993 to 1995. He is chairman of the trustees of Byways Residential Home and president of Aldershot Group Riding For The Disabled.

Since 1955, Lord Tenby has been married to Ursula Diana Ethel Medlicott, daughter of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Edward Medlicott DSO. They have two daughters and one son, Timothy Lloyd George.
