Henry Brouncker (c. 1550 – 3 June 1607) of Erlestoke, Wiltshire and West Ham, Essex was an English politician whose later career was spent in Ireland.
[1] He was born in Wiltshire, a younger son of Henry Brouncker of Melksham and Erlestoke and his second wife Ursula Yate.
[2] The standing of his family among the local gentry secured him a seat as Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Westbury, Wiltshire in 1572 alongside his elder brother[3] and for Devizes in 1584, 1586 and 1589.
[1] In 1601 he re-entered parliament, sitting for Dorchester possibly through the patronage of Sir Robert Cecil,[1] with whom he had been in regular contact while in Scotland.
[8] By his wife Anne (d. 1612), daughter of Henry Parker, 11th Baron Morley and Lady Elizabeth Stanley, he was the father of William, 1st Viscount Brouncker.
