Nathan Rothschild (November 8, 1840 – March 31, 1915), was a British banker and politician from the wealthy international Rothschild family. He was also a hereditary Baron of the Austrian Empire.
Nathaniel Mayer Rothschild was the eldest son of Baron Lionel de Rothschild and Baroness Charlotte von Rothschild (née von Rothschild). His paternal grandparents were Nathan Mayer Rothschild, after whom he was named, and Hannah Barent-Cohen, daughter of Levy Barent Cohen. His maternal grandparents were Carl Mayer von Rothschild and Adelheid Herz. Through both of his grandfathers, who were brothers, he was the great-grandson of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the dynasty.
In his youth, Rothschild was a Captain in the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a friend of the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII), but left without taking a degree.
