Baron Ogmore, of Bridgend in the County of Glamorgan, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 10 July 1950 for David Rees-Williams, a Welsh Labour, and later Liberal, politician. As of 2020^[update], the title is held by his grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in that year.
