Sir John Borlase, 1st Baronet (21 August 1619 – 8 August 1672) of Bockmer, Medmenham, Buckinghamshire was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1640 and 1644. He supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War.
In April 1640, Borlase was elected Member of Parliament for Great Marlow in the Short Parliament.[1] His re-election as MP for Marlow to the Long Parliament in November 1640 was declared void after a dispute. Instead, Borlase was returned as MP for Corfe Castle in 1641.[1] On 4 May 1642, he was created baronet of Bockmer, in the County of Buckingham.[3] He was disabled from sitting for his Royalist tendencies in 1644.[1] In 1645, he was imprisoned by order of Oliver Cromwell, but released for a fine of £2400 a year later.[4]
