Charles Tyringham Praed (1833 – 19 October 1895)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician.

Davenport was elected MP for St Ives at a by-election in 1874, but was quickly unseated after the election was declared void on petition grounds of "general treating".[2] However, he regained the seat at the subsequent by-election in 1875 and remained MP until 1880 when he stepped down.[3]
