Sir Henry Seton-Karr (5 February 1853 - 29 May 1914) was an English explorer, hunter and author and a Conservative politician.

Seton-Karr was elected MP for St Helens in 1885 and held the seat until 1906. He was an explorer, big game hunter and writer. He died in Canada's greatest maritime disaster when the Empress of Ireland sank in the St. Lawrence River when he was returning to England from a hunting trip in British Columbia.[1]
