Lionel Tollemache, 5th Earl of Dysart (6 August 1734 – 20 February 1799), styled Lord Huntingtower until 1770, was an English peer.

Lord Huntingtower received no settlement from his father at his majority, and, feeling he owed him nothing, married without his knowledge or consent.{{citation |url=https://archive.org/stream/letterschronolog04walp#page/430/mode/2up| title=Letter to George Montagu, 2 October 1760|work=The Letters of Horace Walpole, Fourth Earl of Orford|first=Horace |last=Walpole |authorlink=Horace Walpole |editor-first=Paget |editor-last=Toynbee |volume=IV|pages=430–431|year=1903}}{{citation |url=https://archive.org/stream/letterschronolog04walp#page/432/mode/2up| title=Letter to Sir Horace Mann, 5 October 1760|work=The Letters of Horace Walpole, Fourth Earl of Orford|first=Horace |last=Walpole |authorlink=Horace Walpole |editor-first=Paget |editor-last=Toynbee |volume=IV|pages=432–434|year=1903}} The bride was Charlotte, daughter of Sir Edward Walpole, whom he married on 2 October 1760 at St James's Church, Piccadilly.The Register of Marriages solemnized in the Parish Church of St James within the Liberty of Westminster & County of Middlesex. 1754–1765.
