Vernon Henry St John, 6th Viscount Bolingbroke (15 March 1896 – 1 May 1974) was a British peer. He was the fourth child of Henry St John, 5th Viscount Bolingbroke and his wife Mary Elizabeth Emily, a former domestic. The couple's secret marriage and the existence of an heir was revealed only after the death of the 5th Viscount in 1899 and went on to become a national scandal. Although the couple had three boys, Vernon Henry was the only one who was legitimate and thus inherited the title of Viscount Bolingbroke.
