Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer GCB GCMG CIE KCSI OM PC FRS ( 26 February , 1841 ,- 29 January , 1917 , was a British statesman, diplomat and colonial administrator.

He was British Controller In Egypt during 1879 and later Agent And Consul-general In Egypt from 1883 to 1907 . During this period, Egypt had just been taken over by the British after running into financial and political trouble; far from the centre of the Empire, Cromer ran the territory with great drive and his actions eventually precluded British wishes to withdraw from Egypt.

In 1906 he was made a Member of the Order Of Merit by King Edward VII .

Evelyn Baring, 1st Baron Howick Of Glendale was his son.
