Ferdinand William Cavendish-Bentinck, 8th Duke of Portland KBE CMG MC (4 July 1889 – 13 December 1980) was a British peer and grandson of George Cavendish-Bentinck.
Ferdinand was not in the direct Cavendish-Bentinck line of descent, but as the great-grandson of Lord Frederick Cavendish-Bentinck (4th son of the 3rd Duke of Portland) he was the surviving male heir of the 7th Duke of Portland and succeeded to the title on his death in 1977.
The seventh Duke had no sons and was succeeded by his third cousin, Ferdinand Cavendish-Bentinck, 8th Duke of Portland, a great-grandson of Major-General Lord Frederick Cavendish-Bentinck, fourth son of the third Duke. The barony of Bolsover became extinct upon the death of the seventh Duke.
On the death of the 5th Duke in 1879 most of the estates passed to the cousin who succeeded him as 6th Duke, but part of the Ayrshire estates were divided between the 5th Duke's sisters, Lady Ossington and Lady Howard de Walden, the latter also inheriting the Marylebone property.
