Henry Heneage St Paul (16 March 1777 – 1 November 1820)[1] was an English officer in the British Army and a politician.
St Paul was the second son of Horace St Paul of Ewart Park, in Northumberland. His father held the title of Count St Paul of the Austrian Empire. His mother Anne was the daughter of Henry Weston of Surrey. His older brother was Sir Horace St Paul, Bt.[2]
Educated at Eton, he was commissioned as an ensign in the 60th Foot in 1802, but preferred managing his father's estates and was on half-pay from the army by 1803.[2]
However, he died on 1 November, age 43,[1] before he could resume his seat.[2] His death triggered a by-election which was contested by the Scottish Tory nabobJames Balfour and the Whig baronet Sir Francis Blake. It was narrowly won by Blake.[6]
