Sir Montague John Cholmeley, 2nd Baronet (5 August 1802 – 18 January 1874)[1] was a British Liberal Party politician and baronet.

He was the son of Sir Montague Cholmeley, 1st Baronet and his wife Elizabeth Harrison, daughter of John Harrison.[2] In 1831, he succeeded his father as baronet.[3] In 1826, Cholmeley replaced his father as Member of Parliament (MP) for Grantham, a seat he held until 1831.[4] He was High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1836[5] and represented North Lincolnshire from 1847 to 1852 and again from 1857 to 1874.[6]

On 10 February 1829, he married Lady Georgiana Beauclerk, fifth daughter of William Beauclerk, 8th Duke of St Albans[5] and his wife Maria née Nelthorpe. They had a daughter and a son, Hugh, who succeeded to the baronetcy.[2]
