Henry David Reginald Margesson, 1st Viscount Margesson  PC  (26 July 1890 – 24 December 1965) was a British Conservative politician, most popularly remembered for his tenure as Government Chief Whip  in the 1930s. His reputation was of a stern disciplinarian who was one of the harshest and most effective whips . His sense of the popular mood made him know when to sacrifice unpopular ministers. He protected the appeasement -supporting government as long as he could.

However, some argue that there were weaknesses of his system because of the number of high-profile rebellions  during his tenure.

Many were surprised that Churchill retained Margesson as Chief Whip, little realising that there was no personal animosity between the two and that Churchill would have had less regard for Margesson if he had not carried out his functions as Chief Whip. Margesson proved a useful buttress of support as Churchill consolidated his position in government, and when, at the end of 1940, the position of Secretary of State for War  fell vacant, Margesson was promoted to it.

Margesson proved competent and efficient, but in February 1942, Britain suffered severe military setbacks, including the loss ofSingapore . Churchill was forced to make changes to his ministerial team and find scapegoats for the disasters. Margesson was dropped and replaced by his own Permanent Under-Secretary  P. J. Grigg , an unprecedented move. Margesson was first told of the change by Grigg himself but accepted his fate as necessary for the government's future. Later that year, he was made Viscount Margesson , of Rugby in the County of Warwick. His political influence waned heavily. He subsequently worked in the City of London .
