Sir John Rous, 2nd Baronet

Sir John Rous, 2nd Baronet (c.1656 – 8 April 1730) of Henham, Suffolk, was an English Tory politician.

[1] In 1685, Rous was elected as a Tory Member of Parliament for Eye.

He was removed from the lieutenancy and peace commission of Suffolk in 1688 for opposing James II of England's religious policies.

In 1689 he was returned as a member for Suffolk and reappointed as a justice of the peace, but he was not re-elected at the 1690 election.

In 1721, Rous' name was sent to James Francis Edward Stuart as being a likely supporter of the Jacobite cause.
