Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Ninian Edward Crichton-Stuart (15 May 1883 - 2 October 1915) was a British Member of Parliament killed in the First World War. He was the second son of John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute and Hon. Gwendoline Mary Anne Fitzalan Howard.
Lord Ninian was educated at Harrow School and Christ Church, Oxford. He was commissioned in 1903 into the 3rd Battalion of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders and then served for two years in 1st Battalion, the Scots Guards.
He left the army after his marriage to the Hon. Ismay Preston in 1906 to concentrate on politics. In 1907 he was adopted as the Unionist candidate for the United Boroughs of Cardiff, Cowbridge and Llantrisant. He lost the election to D.A. Thomas in January 1910 but was successful in winning the seat in the December 1910 election.
In 1912 he took command of the 6th Battalion, the Welsh Regiment. He was killed in action on 2 October 1915, while leading the 6th Welsh in a night attack on the Hohenzollern Redoubt, near La Bassée, aged 32.
