Edward Arthur Colebrooke, 1st Baron Colebrooke PC, GCVO (12 October 1861–28 February 1939), known as Sir Edward Colebrooke, 5th Baronet, from 1890 to 1906, was a British Liberal politician and courtier.
Colebrooke was the son of Sir Thomas Colebrooke, 4th Baronet, and his wife Elizabeth Margaret Richardson, and succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1890. In 1906 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Colebrooke, of Stebunheath in the County of Middlesex. He served under Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and H. H. Asquith as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1906 to 1911 and under Asquith and later David Lloyd George as Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms (government chief whip in the House of Lords) from 1911 to 1922. In 1914 Colebrooke was admitted to the Privy Council. He was also a Permanent Lord-in-Waiting from 1924 to 1939 and served as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland from 1906 to 1907. He was made a KCVO in 1922 and a GCVO in 1927.
Lord Colebrooke married Alexandra Harriet, daughter of General Lord Alfred Paget, in 1889. They had one son (who died in 1921) and two daughters. He died in February 1939, aged 77, when the baronetcy and barony became extinct. Lady Colebrooke died in 1944.
