厄斯金·奇尔德斯
罗伯特·厄斯金·奇尔德斯 ( Robert Erskine Childers country=GBR ，1870年6月25日 - 1922年11月24日) p=71 ，是一位出生于英国的爱尔兰民族主义者。
期初厄斯金·奇尔德斯支持大英帝国，曾参与第二次布尔战争并为英国效力，但就在第二次布尔战争期间他开始转而不再那么支持英国。当时自由党支持爱尔兰自治，他以自由党候选人的身份参加英国国会选举。
他还是一位作家，他在他的作品中介绍了第二次布尔战争，并且提到德国准备从海上入侵英国。这部小说影响了第一海军大臣温斯顿·丘吉尔，促使他加强本土舰队的建设。第一次世界大战爆发时，丘吉尔劝说厄斯金·奇尔德斯加入英国皇家海军，厄斯金·奇尔德斯因此被授予杰出服务十字勋章。
后来他转而支持爱尔兰共和主义并主张爱尔兰独立。他加入爱尔兰义勇军并将枪支走私到爱尔兰，并支持复活节起义。英爱条约签订后，爱尔兰内部就是否执行英爱条约而爆发爱尔兰内战，内战中厄斯金·奇尔德斯与反对条约的那一方人一起逃亡，最终厄斯金·奇尔德斯被爱尔兰自由邦方面逮捕并被处决。
