Sir John Astley, 2nd Baronet (baptized 24 January 1687 – 29 December 1771) was a British landowner and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons for 44 years from 1727 to 1771. The son of Sir Richard Astley, 1st Baronet and Henrietta Borlase, he was baptised in Patshull in Staffordshire on 24 January 1687. Only one year later, he succeeded to his father's baronetcy and estate. In about 1730 he commissioned architect James Gibbs to build Patshull Hall, a substantial Georgian mansion house situated near Pattingham in Staffordshire.
