William Hare, 2nd Earl of Listowel
- William Hare, 2nd Earl of Listowel
William Hare, 2nd Earl of Listowel KP (22 September 1801 – 4 February 1856), known as Viscount Ennismore from 1827 to 1837, was an Anglo-Irish peer and Member of Parliament.
Listowel was the eldest son of Richard Hare, Viscount Ennismore, and Catherine Bridget Dillon. William Hare, 1st Earl of Listowel, was his grandfather. He was elected to the House of Commons for Kerry in 1826, a seat he held until 1830. In 1837 he succeeded his grandfather in the earldom but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. Listowel instead returned to the House of Commons in 1841 when he was elected for St Albans, a constituency he represented until 1846. He also served as Vice-Admiral of Munster and was made a Knight of the Order of St Patrick in 1839.
Lord Listowel married Maria Augusta Windham, daughter of Vice-Admiral William Windham, in 1831. He died in February 1856, aged 54, and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son William Hare, 3rd Earl of Listowel. Lady Listowel died in 1871.
