Sir Thomas Stepney, 5th Baronet

Sir Thomas Stepney, 5th Baronet (c.1668 – 1745) was a Welsh landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1717 to 1722.

Stepney was the only son of Sir John Stepney, 4th Baronet of Prendergast, Pembrokeshire, and his wife Justina Van Dyck, daughter of Sir Anthony van Dyck the artist.

Llanelly House passed out of the family in time, but in 2011 work was begun to restore the building which is now open to the public.
