Sir Patrick Warrender of Lochend, 3rd Baronet (7 March 1731 – 14 June 1799)[1] was a Scottish soldier and politician.

Bruntsfield House, Edinburgh - the Warrenders' Edinburgh house

He was a younger, but oldest surviving, son of Sir John Warrender, 2nd Baronet and his wife Henrietta Johnston, daughter of Sir Patrick Johnston MP, Lord Provost of Edinburgh.[2] In 1772, he succeeded his father as baronet.[3] Warrender served with the Royal Horse Guards and fought in the Battle of Minden in 1759.[4] Eventually he became a Lieutenant-Colonel of the 11th Regiment of Dragoons.[4]

Warrender was Member of Parliament (MP) for Haddington Burghs from 1768 until 1774.[5] Between 1771 and 1791, he was King's Remembrancer of the Court of Exchequer.[3]

In 1780, Warrender married Helen Blair.[6] They had a daughter and two sons, George and John, who succeeded to the baronetcy successively.[6]
