Henry Newport, 3rd Earl of Bradford (8 August 1683 – 25 December 1734[1]) was an English peer and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1706 and 1722.

[2] Newport was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bishop's Castle at a by-election on 5 March 1706.

The entailed estates such as Weston Park then passed to the 4th earl's sister Anne, who had married Sir Orlando Bridgeman, 4th Baronet.

The illegitimate son of Sir Henry, Lord Bradford was born John Harrison to Ann Smyth in 1720.

His father died before John Harrison obtained his majority and the considerable unentailed estate left to him was administered by a committee chaired by his mother.
