Henry Killigrew (Royal Navy officer)

Vice Admiral Henry Killigrew (c.1652 – 9 November 1712) was an English Royal Navy officer. He was the son of the playwright Henry Killigrew. He was active in the 1670s and 1680s, and was promoted to vice-admiral in 1689. He was suspected of Jacobite sympathies, and not given a sea command after 1693. He was Member of Parliament for St Albans 1705-1708, initially as a member of the Parliament of England, and then (following the Acts of Union in 1707) as a member of the Parliament of Great Britain.
