Sir Charles Saxton, 2nd Baronet (2 October 1773 – 24 January 1838) was a British barrister, senior civil servant in the Dublin Castle administration in Ireland, and Tory politician.
Through his friendship with Charles Williams-Wynn, Saxton was able to secure a role in the Irish civil service commencing in August 1806.
In 1808, Saxton was appointed Under-Secretary for Ireland – the most senior civil servant in the Irish administration – by the Duke of Richmond.
[2] In May 1812 Saxton resigned his office and in October that year he was elected as the Tory Member of Parliament for the Irish seat of Cashel.
After a period in Holland, in the spring of 1818 he returned to parliament and on 27 April he delivered his maiden speech in defence of an Abingdon petition against allegations of abuse of corporation charities, but was obliged to withdraw it.
