List of Escheators of Connaught

This is a list of the Members of Parliament appointed as Escheator of Leinster, a notional 'office of profit under the crown' which was used once to resign from the Irish House of Commons.

The office was formerly substantive. It was founded in 1605, when the escheatorship for Ireland was divided among the provinces of Connaught, Leinster, Munster, and Ulster.
