Patrick Baskerville (born c. 1829 – June 29, 1901)[1] was an Irish-born Canadian businessman and political figure in Ontario. He represented the riding of Ottawa in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1879 to 1886 as a Conservative member.
Baskerville was born in Ballyrusheen, County Tipperary, Ireland in 1829, the son of George Baskerville, a farmer, and emigrated to Bytown with his family in 1847. Baskerville worked at farming and the timber trade, before becoming a clerk with the Bytown and Prescott Railway in 1854. In 1862, he became a merchant, selling groceries. His three brothers joined the business as partners in 1870.
