Sir Charles Mordaunt, 6th Baronet (c. 1697 – 11 March 1778), of Walton d'Eiville in Warwickshire, was an English landowner and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons for 40 years from 1734 to 1774.
Mordaunt was the eldest son of Sir John Mordaunt, 5th Baronet, of Walton D’Eiville and Little Massingham and his second wife Penelope Warburton, daughter of Sir George Warburton, 1st Baronet, of Arley, Cheshire.
[4] In the 1750s, Mordaunt was regarded as one of the Tory leaders in the House, and in the early days of George III's reign, when the balance of power was in doubt, both court and opposition made vigorous efforts to win his support; he was eventually won over to the royal cause by his son, John, being appointed a Groom of the Bedchamber.
Mordaunt retired from Parliament in 1774, expecting his son to succeed him as MP, but the Birmingham manufacturers put up a rival candidate and he was defeated.
