Francis Burdett (1743-1794) was a member of the noble Burdett Family of Bramcote which had a lineage of Baronetcy. He failed to inherit the hereditary baronetcy as he died; in 1794; before his father did; in 1797, thus he was only the son and father of two Bramcote Burdett Baronets. He is the subject of two notable paintings.
