Sir Henry O'Neal de Hane Segrave (22 September 1896 – 13 June 1930) was an early British pioneer in land speed and water speed records.
Segrave, who set three land and one water record, was the first person to hold both titles simultaneously and the first person to travel at over 200 miles per hour (320 km/h) in a land vehicle.
He died in an accident in 1930 shortly after setting a new world water speed record on Windermere in the Lake District, England.
The Segrave Trophy was established to commemorate his life.
