Francis North, 2nd Baron Guilford

Francis North, 2nd Baron Guilford PC (14 December 1673 – 17 October 1729) was a British peer and member of the House of Lords.

In 1685, he succeeded his father Francis North as Baron Guilford.

In 1701 he was one of five peers of the realm who voted against the Act of Settlement (which excluded the House of Stuart from the English throne) in the House of Lords, and who felt strongly enough to enter written protests in the House of Lords Journal.

In 1712, he was appointed to the Privy Council, and was First Lord of Trade from 1713 to 1714.

His first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Fulke Greville, 5th Baron Brooke, and Sarah Dashwood, whom he married in 1695.
