Francis Parker Newdigate (14 April 1774 – 1862) was born Francis Parker. He was Lord of the Manor of Kirk Hallam, near West Hallam, Derbyshire, where the parish church of All Saints displays a memorial window dedicated to his memory.
A grandnephew of Sir Richard Newdigate, 3rd Baronet, and a distant cousin of Sir Roger Newdigate, 5th Baronet, he changed his name to Newdigate on inheriting estates at Arbury and Harefield on the death of the 5th Baronet. He lived at Arbury Hall. He married Lady Barbara Maria Legge, daughter of George Legge, 3rd Earl of Dartmouth in 1820.
