Gilbert Affleck (c. 1684 – 12 November 1764)[1] was a British politician.

He was the son of John Affleck and his wife Neeltice, daughter of Gilbert Schape.[2] Affleck entered the British House of Commons as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Cambridge in 1722, representing the constituency until 1727 and again from 1737 to 1741.[1]

On 3 November 1705, he married Anna Dolben, daughter of John Dolben, at Westminster Abbey in London.[3] They had twelve sons and six daughters.[2] His second and oldest surviving son John sat also in the Parliament of Great Britain, while his tenth son Edmund was a rear-admiral in the Royal Navy.[3]
