Sir Gerald Fitzroy Hohler KC (1862 – 30 January 1934)[1] was a British barrister and Conservative Party politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for constituencies in Kent from 1910 to 1929.

Hohler was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He was called to the bar in 1888 at the Inner Temple, and practised on the South-Eastern Circuit.[3] He became a Kings Counsel (KC) in 1906.[3]

Political career

He was elected at the January 1910 general election as the MP for Chatham,[1] unseating the town's first Labour Party MP John Jenkins,[4] and held the seat until the 1918 general election,[1][4] when he was elected instead as a Coalition Conservative for the new Gillingham division of Rochester.[5] He was returned to the House of Commons at a further three elections before standing down at the 1929 general election,[5] having been knighted in 1924[3] in the resignation honours of Stanley Baldwin.
