William Coutts Keppel, 7th Earl of Albemarle KCMG, PC (15 April 1832 – 28 August 1894), styled Viscount Bury between 1851 and 1891, was a British soldier and politician. He served in the British Army before entering parliament in 1857. Initially a Liberal, he served as Treasurer of the Household between 1859 and 1866 in the Liberal administrations headed by Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell. He later switched to the Conservatives and held office as Under-Secretary of State for War under Lord Beaconsfield between 1878 and 1880 and under Lord Salisbury between 1885 and 1886.

British statesman, succeeded his father in 1723, and about 1737 was made one of his lords of the bedchamber by Frederick, Prince of Wales. On the prince's death in 1751 Bute became groom of the stole to his son, afterwards George III, who he strongly influenced. In 1761 he was appointed one of the principal secretaries of state; was prime minister. His government was one of the most unpopular that ever held office, its fundamental principle being the supremacy of the royal prerogative. From 1768 his life was chiefly spent in the country, where he engaged in botany and science study.
