Francis Needham, 2nd Earl of Kilmorey

Francis Jack Needham, 2nd Earl of Kilmorey (12 December 1787-20 June 1880), known as Viscount Newry from 1822 to 1832, was an Anglo-Irish peer and Member of Parliament.

Kilmorey was the son of General Francis Needham, 1st Earl of Kilmorey. He was elected to the House of Commons for Newry in 1819 (succeeding his father), a seat he held until 1826. In 1832 he succeeded his father in the earldom but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords.

Lord Kilmorey married Jane Gun-Cuninghame in 1814. He died in June 1880, aged 92, and was succeeded in his titles by his grandson Francis, his eldest son Francis Needham, Viscount Newry, having predeceased him.
