:"Hungerford should not be confused with his namesake and contemporary, the Parliamentarian Colonel Anthony Hungerford"
Anthony Hungerford (died 1657), of Black Bourton in Oxfordshire, was an English Member of Parliament who supported the Royalist cause during the English Civil War.
The younger son of Sir Anthony Hungerford, he came from a family with a long Parliamentary pedigree; his ancestors included the 14th century Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Thomas Hungerford.
He was MP for Malmesbury in the Short and Long Parliaments. In 1644, after he attended the King's Parliament at Oxford, he was disabled from sitting in the Long Parliament, fined and imprisoned in the Tower of London; however in 1646, on payment of a fine of £2,532, he was pardoned and his estate at Black Bourton (which had been sequestered) was restored to him. In 1653 he inherited the Farleigh Castle estates of the senior branch of the family.
His son, Sir Edward Hungerford, sat in Parliament for several constituencies after the Restoration; his spendthrift habits destroyed the family fortune.
