Robert Bedingfield

Sir Robert Bedingfield (1637–1711) of Ludgate Street, London, was a British merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1701.

At the first general election of 1701, he was brought in as Member of Parliament for Hedon by Henry Guy.

He was generally inactive in Parliament, but in May 1701 he petitioned the House for relief from the effects of the Act relating to forfeited estates in Ireland.

His single vote in the London common council forestalled a petition in support of the Kentish Petitioners.

Another nephew received by his will "the lease of my dwelling house and shop and the whole benefit and advantage of the same".
