List of Privy Counsellors (1714–1820)

This is a list of individuals who were appointed to the Privy Council of Great Britain and subsequently the Privy Council of the United Kingdom (after the Acts of Union 1800) between 1714 and 1820. The Privy Council is a body of advisors to the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. Membership is conferred for life, though in practice, active participation varies greatly. Appointments during this period were primarily at the discretion of the reigning monarch, typically acting on the advice of the Prime Minister or other leading ministers.

The period covered spans the reigns of George I, George II, George III, and includes the Regency period. It was a time of significant political and social change, marked by the rise of cabinet government, the American Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and increasing industrialization. Consequently, the list includes a wide range of figures from across the political spectrum, including Whigs, Tories, and various factional alignments.

Membership of the Privy Council carried significant prestige and often influence. Privy Counsellors were entitled to the style "The Right Honourable" and were eligible for appointment to various high offices of state. The Council itself met regularly to advise the monarch on matters of state, and its committees played a key role in the administration of government. However, the actual power exercised by individual Privy Counsellors varied considerably depending on their political standing, their relationship with the monarch, and their activity within the government.

This list would ideally contain information about each individual, including their title (if any), dates of appointment, principal offices held, and other relevant biographical details. A complete list would be very extensive. Due to the limitations of this format, only a general description of the topic can be provided here. Comprehensive lists of Privy Counsellors can typically be found in historical records, parliamentary papers, and biographical dictionaries.
