Sir Walter Fleming Coutts GCMG MBE (30 November 1912 – 4 November 1988)[1] was a British colonial administrator and was Uganda's final Governor before independence, from 1961–1962. He was Governor-General of Uganda 1962–1963.[2] He was chosen for this job because he had a reputation within the colonial office for supporting African nationalism and African independence movements.[3]

He was educated at Glasgow Academy, the University of St Andrews and St John's College, Cambridge.[4]
