Patrick Bellew, 1st Baron Bellew PC (29 January 1798-10 December 1866), known as Sir Patrick Bellew, 7th Baronet, from 1827 to 1848, was an Irish Whig politician.
Bellew was the son of Sir Edward Bellew, 6th Baronet, and his wife Mary Anne (née Strange), and succeeded in the baronetcy on his father's death in 1827. In 1831 he was elected to the House of Commons for County Louth, a seat he held until 1832 and again from 1834 to 1837. Bellew also served as High Sheriff of County Louth in 1831 and as Lord Lieutenant of County Louth from 1831 to 1866 and was a Commissioner of National Education in Ireland from 1839 to 1866. He was admitted to the Irish Privy Council in 1838 and in 1848 he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Bellew, of Barmeath in the County of Louth.
Lord Bellew married Anna Fermina, daughter of Admiral don José Maria de Mendoza y Rios, in 1829. She died in 1857. Bellew survived her by nine years and died in December 1866, aged 68. He was succeeded in his titles by his son Edward.
