Colonel The Honourable Aubrey Nigel Henry Molyneux Herbert (3 April 1880 – 26 September 1923), of Pixton Park in Somerset and of Teversal, in Nottinghamshire, was a British soldier, diplomat, traveller, and intelligence officer associated with Albanian independence.
He was twice offered the throne of Albania.
From 1911 until his death he was a Conservative Member of Parliament.
His eldest half-brother was George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon (1866–1923), the famous Egyptologist who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, who predeceased him by five months, by legend due to the "curse of the pharaohs".
He suffered during most of his life from poor eyesight and was almost blind by his early 40s.
