John Wodehouse, 3rd Earl of Kimberley (11 November 1883 to 16 April 1941), styled Lord Wodehouse from 1902 to 1932, was a British hereditary peer, Liberal politician and champion polo player. He attended Eton College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he began playing polo as a member of the Light Blue team, and he later played for the Old Cantabs. He was elected Member of Parliament for Mid Norfolk in 1906 and sat until the general election of January 1910. He holds the unique distinction of being the only person to win a gold medal at the Olympics in 1920 and a silver medal in 1908, both for polo.
