Inigo Brassey Freeman-Thomas, 2nd Marquess of Willingdon (25 July 1898 – 19 March 1979), was a British Liberal Party politician. From 1931 to 1941 he was styledViscount Ratendone.
His father was raised in the peerage from Viscount Willingdon to Earl of Willingdon in 1931, a few months before the end of his tenure as Governor General of Canada. With the earldom came the subsidiary title of Viscount Ratendone, which the younger Freeman-Thomas used as a courtesy title. His father was created Marquess of Willingdon in 1936, and when he died in 1941, the younger Freeman-Thomas became the second marquess.
