Sir Humphrey Winch, 1st Baronet (3 January 1622 – December 1703) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1660 and 1689.

Winch was the eldest son of Onslow Winch of Everton, Bedfordshire and his wife Judith Burgoyne, daughter of Roger Burgoyne of Wroxall, Warwickshire and his first wife Margaret Wendy, and sister of Sir John Burgoyne, 1st Baronet. His other grandfather was Sir Humphrey Winch, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland (died 1625).[1] Winch purchased the Hawnes estate (now known as Haynes Park) in Bedfordshire in 1654[2] and by 1659 had sold the manor of Everton which he had inherited from his father.[1]
