Frederick Henry Paul Methuen, 2nd Baron Methuen (23 February 1818-26 September 1891), was a British peer and Liberal politician.
Methuen was the son of Paul Methuen, 1st Baron Methuen, and his wife Jane Dorothea (née St John-Mildmay). He succeeded his father in the barony in 1849 and served as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) under Lord Palmerston and later Lord Russell between 1859 and 1866 and under William Gladstone from 1868 to 1874, 1880 to 1885 and in 1886. He was also an Aide-de-Camp to Queen Victoria.
Lord Methuen married Anna Horatia Caroline, daughter of Reverend John Sanford, in 1844. He died in September 1891, aged 73, and was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son Paul, who became a noted military commander. Lady Methuen died in 1899.
