Rear-Admiral Tufton Percy Hamilton Beamish, CB, DL (26 July 1874 – 2 May 1951) was an English naval officer and Conservative Party politician. His brother Henry Hamilton Beamish was a leading British antisemitic journalist and the founder of The Britons in 1919, the first organisation set up in Britain for the express purpose of diffusing antisemitic propaganda.
He married Margaret Simon in 1914. The couple had two daughters and one surviving son, Tufton Beamish, Baron Chelwood.
Tufton Beamish led a distinguished naval and political career. He was twice Member of Parliament (MP) for Lewes: from 1924 to 1931, and again from 1936 to 1945. His son Tufton succeeded him in at the 1945 general election and represented the seat until 1974.
