William Wharton Burdon (1803–1870) was an English Whig Member of Parliament who represented Weymouth and Melcombe Regis from 1835 to 1837.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

He was the son of William Burdon, and matriculated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1817.[7] He resided at Hartford Hall, just outside Bedlington, a mansion built for his father by the architect William Stokoe.[8]

Burdon did not marry, and his estate went to Augustus Edward de Butts, a second cousin, who took the surname Burdon.[5]
