Lord Archibald Hamilton of Riccarton and Pardovan (1673 – 5 April 1754) was a British officer of the Royal Navy, and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1708 and 1747. In the 1690s, he was active in the English Channel pursuing French privateers, including Tyger out of St Malo. He commanded the third-rate at the Battle of Vigo Bay in October 1702 and then commanded the third-rate at the Battle of Málaga in August 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession. He was a controversial Governor of Jamaica. He then joined the Board of Admiralty, ultimately serving as Senior Naval Lord.
