Robert Hurst (1750–1843)

Robert Hurst (1750–1843) was an English Whig politician. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for boroughs from 1806 to 1812, and from 1812 to 1829.

At the 1802 general election, Hurst was elected to the House of Commons for two constituencies: Shaftesbury and Steyning. The result of the election in Shaftesbury was disputed, but once the dispute had been settled in his favour he chose to represent Shaftesbury, and did not sit for Steyning in the remainder of the Parliament.

Hurst was not returned at the 1806 general election, but at the 1812 general election he was elected as MP for Horsham, a seat which he held until 1829.
