William Vane, 1st Viscount Vane
William Vane, 1st Viscount Vane (1682 – 20 May 1734), of Fairlawn, Kent, was a British Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1708 and 1734.
Vane was baptized on 17 February 1682, the second surviving son of Christopher Vane, 1st Baron Barnard, and his wife Lady Elizabeth Holles, daughter of Gilbert Holles, 3rd Earl of Clare and sister of John Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle.
He inherited a substantial fortune from his mother's family.
In 1703, he married Lucy Jolliffe, daughter of Sir William Jolliffe, of Caverswall Castle, Staffordshire.
The settlement dated 15 November 1703 included Fairlawn, Kent, and lands in Durham, providing Vane with £600 p.a. for himself and his wife.
After the marriage, Vane's father refused to include Fairlawn in the settlement, and took ‘great displeasure’ and stopped the allowance when his son took legal advice.
The case came before the House of Lords and the settlement was confirmed.
Vane kept possession of Fairlawn.
At the 1708 British general election, Vane was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for County Durham on his father's interest.
He was active as a teller for various electoral disputes and voted for the naturalization of the Palatines, and for the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell.
At the 1710 British general election, his father decided to drop him, so he did not stand.
In 1720 Vane was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Vane, of Dungannon in the County of Tyrone, and Viscount Vane.
These titles did not disqualify him from sitting in the House of Commons.
He succeeded his father in 1723.
At the 1727 British general election Vane was successfully returned in a contest for Steyning.
At the 1734 British general election he was defeated at Steyning but returned in a contest as MP for Kent.
However, he died suddenly only five days later.
Vane died of apoplexy on 20 May 1734 at Fairlawn, Shipbourne, Kent, where he was buried on 5 June.
He was succeeded in the viscountcy by his only surviving son, William.
Lady Vane died in March 1742.

In 1731, he married Lady Henrietta Finch, the daughter of Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham.

The dukedoms and subsidiary titles became extinct upon his death.
The Cleveland dukedom was subsequently recreated for his grand- nephew William Vane, 1st Duke of Cleveland.
