Sir Edmund Bacon, 2nd Baronet (c. 1570 – 10 April 1649) was an English baronet and politician. Edmund was wealthy, possessing around £6,000. He was a nephew of Francis Bacon and a friend of Sir Henry Wotton with whom he would often talk about his uncle's scientific experiments. Edmund's beliefs about religion are unknown, although he was described by a Puritan chaplain named Robert Allen as "Lovers of piety and justice, and friends to the church of God."
