Gladstone is a former provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created in 1879 in what was then the province's western tip, with the expansion of the province's western boundary, and eliminated by redistribution in 1881. It was re-established in 1903 (primarily from the old riding of Westbourne) and was not abolished again until 1999. When it was eliminated, its territory was distributed into the ridings of Carman and Turtle Mountain. The riding was named after British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone.

The Gladstone riding was primarily rural, and its MLAs, regardless of party affiliation, were generally regarded as representatives of the farming community. The Manitoba Liberal Party dominated until that party lost most of its rural base in 1969; after this, it was effectively safe for the Progressive Conservative Party.

MLA William Morton was re-elected by acclamation in every provincial election from 1941 to 1953.

Gladstone was a former parliamentary electorate in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, from 1866 to 1890.

Gladstone is the resident Chief Mouser of HM Treasury at Whitehall, London. He is an eighteen-month-old black domestic short-haired cat, who began his role and the position of Chief Mouser in late June 2016. Previously, he was from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and is named after the former Chancellor and Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone. He was brought in to help control mice at the Treasury's 1 Horse Guards Road building.

The inception of the position of Chief Mouser at the Treasury follows the inception of similar positions at Number 10 and the Foreign Office, with those positions being held by Larry and Palmerston, as of July 2016. The decision to introduce an official mouser was taken by John Kingman, former acting Permanent Secretary at the Treasury. The appointment of Gladstone as "Chief Mouser to the Treasury" was officially announced on 29 July 2016. He is a former stray who was picked up in London in May 2016 and taken to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, where he was known as Timmy. While there, he was given a special activity feeder because of his habit to eat too quickly.

Gladstone was taken to his new home at the Treasury in late June 2016, but the fallout from the referendum on European Union membership delayed the public announcement until late July. For his first few weeks at the Treasury Gladstone was confined to an office in the Treasury building, but it is expected he will be fitted with a tracking device and be allowed to freely roam throughout the Treasury estate. Food and upkeep for Gladstone is being paid for by Treasury staff who all pay a small amount towards the total for his upkeep. At weekends, the Treasury's facilities and security team look after his domestic needs and personal protection.
