Trevor Ogilvie-Grant, 4th Baron Strathspey (2 March 1879 – 11 November 1948) was born in New Zealand, the son of a Scottish peer. He inherited his father's subsidiary title under the Peerage of the United Kingdom and became the 4th Baron Strathspey, which gave him a seat in the House of Lords.

Strathspey was the second son of Francis William Ogilvy-Grant, 10th Earl of Seafield and Ann Trevor Corry Evans.[1] He was born in 1879 in Oamaru in North Otago. He was educated at Warwick House preparatory school in Christchurch (where his elder brother James had also attended),[2] Waitaki Boys' High School and St John's College.[1][3] For many years, he was the President of the English branch of the Waitaki Old Boys' Association.[1]

His second marriage was in March 1947 to Elfrida Minnie Fass, daughter of Gordon Cloete of Cape Town in South Africa, and widow of Colonel Capron, York and Lancaster Regiment.[6]
