John Campbell-Renton (22 April 1814 – 25 February 1856)[1] was a British Conservative politician.[2]
The son of Robert Campbell and Susanna (née Renton), Campbell-Renton was elected Conservative MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed at the 1847 general election but lost the seat at the next election in 1852. He attempted to regain the seat at a by-election in 1853—caused by the 1852 election being declared void on account of bribery—but was unsuccessful.[3][4][2]
