Sir Henry Channon (7 March 1897 – 7 October 1958), often known as Chips Channon, was an American-born British Conservative politician, author and diarist.
Channon moved to England in 1920 and became strongly anti-American, feeling that American cultural and economic views threatened traditional European and British civilisation.
He wrote extensively about these views.
Channon quickly became enamoured of London society and became a social and political climber. Channon was first elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) in 1935.
In his political career he failed to achieve ministerial office and was unsuccessful in his pursuit of a peerage, but he is remembered as one of the most famous political and social diarists of the 20th century.
His diaries have so far been published only in an expurgated edition; however, they are due to be republished in full by Hutchinson, with the first volume scheduled to appear in September 2020.
