Sir Charles Edward Mott-Radclyffe (25 December 1911 – 25 November 1992) was a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom.
He was the only son of Lt-Col Charles Edward Radclyffe DSO and Theresa Caroline Mott. Several generations of the Mott family had resided at Barningham Hall in North Barningham, Norfolk.
Mott-Radclyffe was educated at Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford and then joined the Diplomatic corps. He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Windsor at a by-election in 1942 (where he faced a strong challenge from the Independent candidate William Douglas-Home), and served until he retired from the House of Commons at the 1970 general election.
He was knighted in 1957.
