William Hare, 3rd Earl of Listowel
- William Hare, 3rd Earl of Listowel
William Hare, 3rd Earl of Listowel KP (29 May 1833 – 5 June 1924), known as Viscount Ennismore from 1837 to 1856, was an Anglo-Irish peer and Liberal politician.
Listowel was the eldest son of William Hare, 2nd Earl of Listowel, and Maria Augusta Windham. He succeeded his father in the earldom in 1856 but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. However, in 1869 he was created Baron Hare, of Connamore in the County of Cork, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, which gave him an automatic seat in the House of Lords. Lord Listowel later served as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from May to September 1880 in the second Liberal administration of William Gladstone. In 1873 he was made a Knight of the Order of St Patrick.
Lord Listowel married Lady Ernestine Mary, daughter of Ernest Brudenell-Bruce, 3rd Marquess of Ailesbury, in 1865. He died in June 1924, aged 91, and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son Richard. Two of his grandsons, William Hare, 5th Earl of Listowel, and John Hare, 1st Viscount Blakenham, both became government ministers. Lady Listowel died in 1936.
