Sir Henry Peyton, 1st Baronet

Sir Henry Dashwood Peyton, 1st Baronet (1736–1789), of Doddington, Cambridgeshire, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1782 to 1789.

[1] Peyton was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament (MP) for Cambridgeshire at a by-election on 20 June 1782 with the support of the Duke of Rutland and Lord Hardwicke.

His fellow MP Philip Yorke had described Peyton to Hardwicke as "a mere country gentleman, without much knowledge of the world, and no more polish than his wife has given him".

His daughter, Harriet Peyton, married Thomas Kingscote ( 9 Dec 1757 – 15 Apr 1811) on 8 October 1794.
