Mildmay Fane (c. October 1689 – 11 September 1715) was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons for 8 months in 1715, before his early death.
Fane unsuccessfully contested Kent as a Whig in the 1713 election, being beaten by a margin of about 600 votes of about 5000 cast.[2] After the death of Queen Anne, he contested the seat again in the 1715 election. He and William Delaune were returned on 8 February, beating the sitting Tory members by a margin of about 200 votes of about 6200 cast.[3] The change of administration, which transferred Government patronage at the Chatham dockyards and the Cinque Ports from the Tories to the Whigs, was critical in swinging the election.[2]
Fane did not long survive his election, dying unmarried on 11 September.[1] He left his lands to his brother, Col. John Fane,[4] who replaced him as member for Kent in an uncontested by-election.[3]
