The Hon. Algernon Fulke Egerton (31 December 1825-14 July 1891), known as Algernon Leveson-Gower until 1833, was a British Conservative politician.

Egerton was the third son of Francis Egerton, 1st Earl of Ellesmere, younger son of George Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland. His mother was Harriet Catherine, daughter of Charles Greville, while George Egerton, 2nd Earl of Ellesmere, and the Hon. Francis Egerton were his elder brothers. He entered the House of Commons for Lancashire South in 1859, a seat he held until 1868, and then represented Lancashire South-East from 1868 to 1880 and Wigan from 1882 to 1885.

Egerton married Alice Louisa, daughter of Lord George Henry Cavendish, in 1863. They had two sons and seven daughters. He died in July 1891, aged 65. His wife survived him by fourteen years and died in March 1905.
