Alexander George Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath (born 6 May 1932), styled Viscount Weymouth between 1946 and 1992, is an English politician and author. He was born with the surname Thynne but adopted the spelling Thynn in 1976.
Although born in London, he grew up at his family's seat, Longleat, a great Elizabethan house set in 18th century parkland, landscaped by Capability Brown. He served in the Life Guards and was commissioned a lieutenant in 1951. After studying at Christ Church, Oxford, he travelled across Europe and, realising the strength in diversity amongst people, grew to believe that Wessex would be better off as a devolved region within the United Kingdom. He stood in the February 1974 General Election as a Wessex Regionalist and a short time after the election helped form the Wessex Regionalist Party. He stood for the party in the first ever elections to the European Parliament in 1979.
He has written several novels and sat in the House of Lords as a Liberal Democrat after inheriting the Marquessate of Bath from his father in 1992. Amongst other things he spoke on the need for devolution for the regions of England, until he lost his place in the House of Lords after the Labour Government's reforms excluded most of the hereditary peers. Lord Bath is known for his polyamorous lifestyle with "wifelets". He is married to Hungarian born Anna Gael Gyarmathy, by whom he has two children, Lady Lenka Thynn and Ceawlin Thynn, Viscount Weymouth. He is well known for his eccentric and gaudy style of dress.
He ranked 382nd in the Sunday Times Rich List 2005, with an estimated wealth of £120m.
