Sir Lynch Salusbury Cotton (c. 1715 – 14 August 1775) was a British politician and Member of Parliament (MP) for Denbighshire from 1749 to 1774.
He was the son of Sir Thomas Cotton and his wife Hester Salusbury. He married Elizabeth Tollemache (died 6 August 1746), the daughter of Lionel Tollemache, 3rd Earl of Dysart and his wife Grace Wilbraham. He was the brother of the 3rd Baronet, Robert Salisbury Cotton who predeceased him without issue.
In December 1749 he was elected unopposed as Knight of the Shire for Denbigh, replacing Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn.[1]
In 1769, he built St Mary's and St Michael's Church, Burleydam, near his family seat of Combermere Abbey in Cheshire.[2][3]
