William Sneyd (c. 1693 – 11 February 1745) was an English politician who briefly sat in the House of Commons in 1718 as Member of Parliament for Lichfield.[1]
Sneyd was educated at Clare College, Cambridge, graduating in 1710. He also attended the Middle Temple, being called to the bar in 1719.[1] He was elected on 24 April 1718 "by a very great mob with papers in their hats resembling white roses, headed by the same person that was captain of the famous riots at West Bromwich".[2] However, Sneyd was unseated on petition on 10 December.[1]
His cousin Ralph Sneyd was MP for Staffordshire from 1713 to 1715.[3]
