Sir John Armytage, 2nd Baronet (13 July 1732 – 10 September 1758)[1] was a British politician.

He was the oldest son of Sir Samuel Armytage, 1st Baronet and his wife Anne Griffith, daughter of Thomas Griffith,[2] and was educated at Eton.[3] In 1747, he succeeded his father as baronet.[4] He was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1751, receiving his MA in 1753.[3] Armytage was a Member of Parliament (MP) for York between 1754 and 1758.[5]

He died in the Battle of Saint Cast, France, having been a volunteer in the Seven Years' War,[6] unmarried and aged only 27, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother George.[4]
