Sir John Philipps, 6th Baronet
- Sir John Philipps, 6th Baronet
Sir John Philipps, 6th Baronet (c. 1701 – June 22 1764), was a Welsh Jacobite politician.
Sir John was the son of Sir John Philipps, 4th Baronet. He studied at Pembroke College, Oxford, and went on to Lincoln's Inn. In 1725, he married Elizabeth Shepherd. In 1736 he was mayor of Haverfordwest, and in 1741 he became MP for Carmarthen. In 1743, his elder brother, Sir Erasmus Philipps, 5th Baronet, was accidentally drowned, and Sir John inherited the baronetcy. He gave up the Carmarthenshire seat in 1747, but re-entered Parliament as MP for Petersfield (1754–1761), and Pembrokeshire (1761–1764). In 1763 he became a privy councillor. A patron of education, he founded several scholarships at his former Oxford college. On his death without an heir, the baronetcy passed to his younger brother, Richard.
