Sir Francis Drake, 2nd Baronet

Sir Francis Drake, 2nd Baronet (25 September 1617 – 6 January 1662) of Buckland Abbey, Devon was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1646 and 1662. He was a Colonel of the Horse, fighting in the Parliamentary army during the English Civil War.

Drake was the son of Sir Francis Drake, 1st Baronet of Buckland Abbey and his second wife Joan Stroud, daughter of Sir William Stroud of Newnham. He was a great-nephew of Vice Admiral, Sir Francis Drake. He succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father on 11 March 1637. He was appointed Sheriff of Devon for 1645.

In 1646, Drake was elected Member of Parliament for Bere Alston in the Long Parliament but following Pride's Purge in 1648, he and other Devon MPs took no part in the proceedings of the subsequent Rump Parliament. They had no children and the baronetcy went to his nephew Sir Francis Drake, 3rd Baronet (1642–1718).
