Major Eustace Wyndham Maude, 7th Viscount Hawarden JP (20 September 1877 – 6 April 1958) was a British Army officer, peer and colonial official.[1]

Maude was the son of Ludlow Eustace Maude and Clara Louisa Madden, and the great-grandson of Cornwallis Maude, 1st Viscount Hawarden. He was educated at Bloxham School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He was commissioned into the 3rd Battalion, Hampshire Regiment on 4 April 1900.[2] He was promoted to Major in 1910 while serving with the Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey) in Egypt. He succeeded to the title Viscount Hawarden on 26 August 1914.[1] It was due to the battlefield death of his cousin, Lt. Robert Cornwallis Maude, at Mons.[3] He saw active service in the First World War, during which he was mentioned in dispatches. He was subsequently a provincial governor in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. He held the office of Justice of the Peace.
