Henry Hood, 8th Viscount Hood

Henry Lyttelton Alexander Hood, 8th Viscount Hood (born 16 March 1958 ), is a British peer and solicitor. He succeeded to the viscountcy on 2 October 1999, after the death of his father, Alexander Hood, 7th Viscount Hood. Not long after succeeding his father to the title, he lost his seat in the House of Lords due to the House of Lords Act 1999 which removed all but 92 hereditary peers. He most recently stood as a crossbencher in the 2018 by-election following the retirement of the Earl Baldwin of Bewdley and came sixth.

Hood married Flora Susan Casement (b. 1959) in 1991. The Viscountess is a maternal cousin of actor Hugh Grant. The couple have three sons and two daughters. He is a well-established practising solicitor specialising in family law and mediation, and heads the Family Law department at Hunters in the City of London.

In August 2024 he was appointed a deputy lieutenant of the county of Dorset.
