Laurence Waldron (1811 – 3 April 1875)[1] was an Irish Independent Liberal, Liberal and Whig politician.
Waldron married Anne White, daughter of Francis White.[2] He had at least one son, Laurence Ambrose Waldron, who was an Irish Parliamentary Party MP for Dublin St Stephen's Green from 1904 to 1910.[3]
Waldron first stood for Parliament as a Whig at a by-election in Tipperary, caused by the expulsion of James Sadleir from the House of Commons.[4] Unsuccessful on this occasion, he was elected as a Whig for the same seat just a month later at the 1857 general election, holding the seat — standing as a Liberal in 1859 — until he stood down in 1865. Upon the death of John Blake Dillon in 1866, he stood for the seat again, this time as an Independent Liberal, but was unsuccessful.[5][6]
He was also at some point a Deputy Lieutenant.[2]
