Francis Edward Basil Napier, 12th Lord Napier, 3rd Baron Ettrick (1876–1941) was a British peer.
World War I
During the First World War, Napier served as a captain in the 7th Battalion of the King's Royal Rifle Corps,[1] but had unsuccessfully sought exemption from military service in May 1917. His application was rejected by Selkirk County Tribunal, owing to Napier not fulfilling a previous condition to perform munition work.[2]

In 1899, he married Hon. Clarice Jessie E. Hamilton, daughter of James Hamilton, 9th Lord Belhaven and Stenton, and they had:
- William Francis Cyril James Hamilton Napier, who succeeded him as 13th Lord Napier
