Charles Leigh (1686–1749) of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1710 and 1734.
[2] Leigh's father died in November 1710, and he stood at a by-election at Warwick on 13 December 1710 against the Greville interest.
He was elected Member of Parliament in a contest and was classed as a Tory and named as a ‘worthy patriot’ who helped expose the mismanagements of the previous Whig government.
He offended some Tories for abstaining on 24 January 1712 when the House voted on the motion censuring the Duke of Marlborough for his ‘unwarrantable and illegal’ acceptance of money from bread contractors.
At the 1713 general election, he expected not to be put forward for Warwick, but made no attempt to find another constituency.
