Sir Robert Burdett, 4th Baronet (28 May 1716-13 February 1797), was a British politician and noblemen.
Burdett was the posthumous son of Robert Burdett, son of Sir Robert Burdett, 3rd Baronet. His mother was the Hon. Elizabeth, daughter of William Tracy, 4th Viscount Tracy. His father and grandfather both died in January 1716 and Burdett succeeded in the baronetcy at birth in May 1716, four months after the death of his grandfather. He was educated at New College, Oxford. In 1738 he served as High Sheriff of Derbyshire. In 1748 he was returned to Parliament as one of two representatives for Tamworth, a seat he held until 1768.
Burdett married firstly Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Charles Sedley, in 1739. After her death in 1747 he married secondly Lady Caroline, daughter of John Manners, 2nd Duke of Rutland, and widow of Sir Henry Harpur, 5th Baronet, in 1753. She died in 1769.
Sir Robert died in February 1797, aged 80, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his grandson Sir Francis Burdett- the noted reformist politician.
Sir Francis was the eldest son of Francis Burdett (1743-1794), his son from his first marriage. His father Francis failed to inherit the baronetcy off Sir Robert as he died before Sir Robert did, in 1794.
