Dudley North, 4th Baron North (1602–24 June 1677), increased the family fortune by marrying the daughter of Sir Charles Montagu, brother of the 1st Earl of Manchester. He was the older son of Dudley North, 3rd Baron North.

He was an accomplished man, of studious bent, and had fourteen children, of whom the third son, Francis, became Lord Chancellor as Lord Guilford; the fourth was Sir Dudley North, the economist; the fifth, John (1645–1683), master of Trinity College, Cambridge, and professor of Greek in the university; and the sixth, Roger, the lawyer and historian.

The eldest son, Charles (c. 1636–1691), was created Baron Grey of Rolleston during his father's life, and succeeded his father as 5th Baron North.
