Charles William Vane, 3rd Marquess of Londonderry (born Charles William Stewart; 1778–1854) was an Irish soldier in the British army, a politician, and a nobleman.
As a soldier he fought in the French Revolutionary Wars, in the suppression of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, and in the Napoleonic wars.
He excelled as a cavalry commander on the Iberian Peninsula under John Moore and Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington). Having been dismissed by Wellington, his half-brother Lord Castlereagh helped him to launch a diplomatic career.
He was posted to Berlin in 1813, and then as Ambassador to Austria, where his half-brother was the British plenipotentiary at the Congress of Vienna. He married Lady Catherine Bligh in 1804 and then Lady Frances Anne Vane, a rich heiress, in 1819, changing his surname to hers, thus being called Charles Vane instead of Charles Stewart from there on.
He succeeded his half-brother as 3rd Marquess of Londonderry in 1822.
He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1853, and died a year later in London on 6 March 1854.
