Baron Haden-Guest, of Saling in the County of Essex, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1950 for the Labour politician Leslie Haden-Guest. He had previously represented Southwark North and Islington North in the House of Commons. His third son, the fourth Baron (who succeeded his half-brother in 1987, who in his turn had succeeded his brother in 1974), was a United Nations official for many years. The title is now held by his son Christopher Guest, the fifth Baron, who succeeded in 1996. He is a film director, writer, actor and musician.

[edit] Barons Haden-Guest (1950)

Anthony Haden-Guest, the current baron's older half-brother, was born outside of wedlock and hence was not in the line of succession. As the current baron's children are adopted and likewise not in the line of succession), the heir presumptive is the present holder's brother The Honourable Nicholas Haden-Guest.
