厄斯金·奇爾德斯
羅伯特·厄斯金·奇爾德斯 ( Robert Erskine Childers country=GBR ，1870年6月25日 - 1922年11月24日) p=71 ，是一位出生於英國的愛爾蘭民族主義者。
期初厄斯金·奇爾德斯支持大英帝國，曾參與第二次布爾戰爭並為英國效力，但就在第二次布爾戰爭期間他開始轉而不再那麼支持英國。當時自由黨支持愛爾蘭自治，他以自由黨候選人的身份參加英國國會選舉。
他還是一位作家，他在他的作品中介紹了第二次布爾戰爭，並且提到德國準備從海上入侵英國。這部小說影響了第一海軍大臣溫斯頓·丘吉爾，促使他加強本土艦隊的建設。第一次世界大戰爆發時，丘吉爾勸說厄斯金·奇爾德斯加入英國皇家海軍，厄斯金·奇爾德斯因此被授予傑出服務十字勳章。
後來他轉而支持愛爾蘭共和主義並主張愛爾蘭獨立。他加入愛爾蘭義勇軍並將槍支走私到愛爾蘭，並支持復活節起義。英愛條約簽訂後，愛爾蘭內部就是否執行英愛條約而爆發愛爾蘭內戰，內戰中厄斯金·奇爾德斯與反對條約的那一方人一起逃亡，最終厄斯金·奇爾德斯被愛爾蘭自由邦方面逮捕並被處決。
