Major Ernest Gambier-Parry, OBE (25 October 1853 - 15 April 1936) was a British military officer who participated in an expedition to the Sudan in 1885. However, the wounds he sustained in that campaign ended his military career. Gambier-Parry was an accomplished musician and artist. Son of Thomas Gambier Parry, a renowned collector of early Italian works of art whose collection was eventually bequeathed to the Courtauld Institute of Art. He exhibited several works of art at the Royal Academy, London.
