Dudley Ryder, 6th Earl of Harrowby (11 October 1892 – 7 May 1987), known as Viscount Sandon from 1900 to 1956, was a British peer and Conservative Member of Parliament.

Harrowby was the son of John Ryder, 5th Earl of Harrowby, and the Hon. Mabel Danvers Smith. William Henry Smith was his maternal grandfather. He was elected to the House of Commons for Shrewsbury in 1922, a seat he held until 1923 and again from 1924 to 1929, and was Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for Air Sir Samuel Hoare between 1922 and 1923. Harrowby was also a member of the Commission on Historical Manuscripts from 1935 to 1966 and was the author of Geography of Everyday Things and England at Worship. In 1956 he succeeded his father in the earldom and entered the House of Lords.

Lord Harrowby married Lady Helena Blanche Coventry, daughter of George William Coventry, Viscount Deerhurst, in 1922. She died in 1974. Harrowby survived her by thirteen years and died in May 1987, aged 94. He was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son Dudley.
