Sir Edward Crofton, 2nd Baronet (11 October 1748 – 30 September 1797) was an Irish politician.
[1] His sister Susanna married the prominent judge Peter Metge.
The two men apparently quarrelled and fought a duel, which excited some comments even in an era when duelling was common.
In 1797 he was offered a peerage but died shortly afterwards, aged 48, before the patent had been completed.
A daughter, Louisa (d. 1805) married in 1803, as his first wife, Sir Peregrine Maitland.
