- Philip Yorke, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke
Philip Yorke, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke KG FRS (May 31, 1757 – November 18, 1834) was a British politician. Born and educated at Cambridge, England, he was the eldest son of Charles Yorke, Lord Chancellor, by his first wife, Catherine Freman.
He was MP for Cambridgeshire, following the Whig traditions of his family, but after his succession to the earldom in 1790 he supported Pitt, and took office in 1801 as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1801–1806), where he supported Catholic emancipation. He was created a Knight of the Garter in 1803, and was a fellow of the Royal Society. He married Elizabeth, daughter of James Lindsay, 5th Earl of Balcarres, in 1782, but left no son.
He was buried St Andrew's Church in Wimpole, Cambridgeshire in a tomb by Richard Westmacott (the younger).
