Daniel Parker Coke

Daniel Parker Coke (17 July 1745 – 6 December 1825), was an English barrister and Member of Parliament.

Early life Coke was the only son of Thomas Coke (1700–1776), a barrister, and his wife, Matilda Goodwin (1706–1777). He belonged to an old Derbyshire family, the Cokes of Trusley. He was educated at Derby School, Queen's College, Oxford, and All Souls College, Oxford, graduating BA in 1769 and MA in 1772. He then studied law at Lincoln's Inn, London, where he was called to the bar in 1768.

From 1776 to 1780 he was a Member of Parliament for Derby, then from 1780 to 1812 for Nottingham. Joseph Wright painted a portrait of D'Ewes Coke and his wife and his very distant cousin Daniel. This painting is now in Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
