Almeric Hugh Paget, 1st Baron Queenborough, GBE (14 March 1861–22 September 1949) was a British peer and Conservative Party politician.

Paget was the youngest son of Lord Alfred Paget (the fifth son of the 1st Marquess of Anglesey) and was educated at Harrow and Cambridge. On 12 November 1895, he married the American heiress, Pauline Whitney and they had two daughters: Olive Cecilia (1899-1974, married three times and later bought Leeds Castle) and Dorothy Wyndham (1905-1960, died unmarried).

In 1910, Paget entered Parliament as MP for Cambridge, a seat he held until 1917. His wife had died a year earlier and on 19 July 1921, he married another American heiress, Edith Starr Miller and they had three daughters: Hon. Audrey Elizabeth (1922-1991, avatrix), Hon. Enid Louise (b. 1923) and Hon. Cicilie Carol (b. 1928).

In 1918, Paget was created Baron Queenborough, of Queenborough, County Kent and was made a GBE in 1926. Lord Queenborough died in 1949 and without male heirs, his title became extinct.
