Philip Yorke, Viscount Royston (7 May 1784 – 7 April 1808), was a British politician.
Yorke was the eldest son of Philip Yorke, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke, by Lady Elizabeth, daughter of James Lindsay, 5th Earl of Balcarres. He was the grandson of Charles Yorke and the nephew of Charles Philip Yorke and Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke.[1] He was educated at Harrow School and St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated as Master of Arts in 1803.[2]
He was returned to parliament for Reigate in 1806, a seat he held until April 1808,[1][3] when he was lost in a storm off Memel in a ship called the "Agatha of Lübeck".
He was aged only 23 and predeceased his father. He never married. His younger brother Charles also died before his father and their cousin Charles Yorke eventually succeeded in the earldom.[1] His translation of Lycophron was published posthumously.[4]
