- Sir Robert Aske, 1st Baronet
Sir Robert William Aske, 1st Baronet (29 December 1872 – 10 March 1954) was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom.
At the 1923 general election he was elected as Member of Parliament for Newcastle upon Tyne East, but lost his seat a year a year later, at the 1924 general election, to Labour's Martin Connolly.
Aske regained the seat at the 1929 general election, and held it until the Labour landslide at the 1945 general election. When the Liberal Party split in 1931 over participation in Ramsay Macdonald's Conservative-dominated National Government, Aske was one those who broke away to form the new National Liberal Party, which merged in 1948 with the Conservatives.
He was created a baronet in the 1922 New Year Honours, [LondonGazette |issue=32563 |date=30 December 1921 |startpage=10710 |supp=yes] having already been knighted.
