James Waldegrave, 2nd Earl Waldegrave KG PC FRS (4 March 1715 – 13 April 1763), was a British statesman, who is sometimes regarded as the second shortest-serving British Prime Minister in history.
His brief tenure as First Lord of The Treasury is lent a more lasting significance by his memoirs, which are regarded as significant in the development of Whig History.
