Sir George Grobham Howe, 1st Baronet (c. 1627 – 26 September 1676), was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1660 to 1676.
Howe was the son of George Howe (d. 1647[1]) of Berwick St Leonard, Wiltshire, and his wife Dorothy Clarke, daughter of Humphrey Clerke of Woodchurch, Kent. He was admitted to Lincoln's Inn on 19 April 1646.[2]
In April 1660 Howe was elected Member of Parliament for Hindon and held the seat until his death in 1676.[3] He was created baronet on 20 June 1660.[2]
Howe died in 1676 and was buried at Berwick St Leonard.[2]
He married Elizabeth Grimston, daughter of Sir Harbottle Grimston, 2nd Baronet, and his wife Mary Croke. Their son James succeeded to the baronetcy and was also MP for Hindon.[2]
