Sir Austen Chamberlain (Birmingham, 16 de octubre de 1863 - Londres, 17 de marzo de 1937) fue un político británico. Tras estudiar en la Universidad de Cambridge, Chamberlain viajó a Europa, en especial a Francia, ya Berlín. A su regreso a Londres es elegido diputado en la Cámara de los Comunes por el Partido Conservador en 1892. A partir de 1925 y hasta 1929 fue Ministro de Asuntos Exteriores. Junto a Gustav Stresemann y Aristide Briand fue uno de los artífices del Pacto de Locarno en 1925. Dicho pacto es la razón principal por la que se le concedió ese mismo año el premio Nobel de la Paz
