Henry Alexander Munro-Butler-Johnstone (7 December 1837 – 17 October 1902) was a British author and Conservative Party politician.
Born as Henry Alexander Butler-Johnstone,[1] he was the son of Henry Butler-Johnstone (himself born Hon. Henry Butler), a younger son of the 13th Baron Dunboyne, by his wife Isabella Margaret Munro, daughter of Sir Alexander Munro.[2] His father took the surname Butler-Johnstone to honour an inheritance from his wife's uncle, and he himself took the additional surname Munro from his mother in 1874.[3]
He was educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford,[2] graduating in 1861 with a first-class Bachelor of Arts degree in classics.[2] In 1862 he was elected Member of Parliament for Canterbury, a position he resigned in 1878. From 1868 he sat as an independent. He was also Deputy Lieutenant for Ross-shire, and in 1875 published the book The Eastern Question.[1]
He died in Paris on 17 October 1902.[3] In 1909 his body was cremated and his ashes transferred to England, where he was buried.
