British politician

Jasper Parrott (1786 – 15 December 1866) was a British politician.

Parrott lived at Dundridge, in Devon. At the 1832 UK general election, he stood for the Whigs in Totnes, winning a seat. In Parliament, he argued for shorter Parliamentary terms, and for the bishops to lose their automatic seats in the House of Lords. He held his seat until 1839, when he resigned.
