Major Henry Astell Law, 7th Baron Ellenborough, MC, JP, DL (11 July 1889 – 19 May 1945), was a member of the House of Lords.

Law was educated at Eton College where he was in the Eton Shooting VIII and at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. On the death of his father, Cecil Law, 6th Baron Ellenborough, in 1931, he succeeded to the peerage.

He was commissioned as an officer into the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and served in World War I. Law was awarded the Military Cross and mentioned in despatches twice for gallantry. He was promoted to the rank of Major. He was appointed one of His Majesty's Bodyguard of Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms in 1934 and a Deputy Lieutenant of Dorset.
