David Papillon FRS (1691 – 26 February 1762) of Acrise Place, Kent was a British Member of Parliament (MP).[1]

He was the eldest son of Phillip Papillon of Acrise, the MP for Dover and was educated at Morland’s School, Bethnal Green, London and studied law at the Inner Temple (1706). He continued his studies in Utrecht (1707-09) before undertaking the Grand Tour (in Germany) in 1709. He was called to the bar in 1715 and made a Bencher of the Inner Temple in 1744.[1] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1720. [2]

Papillon was the MP for New Romney from 1722 to 1734, broken only by a short period in 1728 when he was temporarily unseated on petition before regaining the seat when one of the petitioners chose to sit elsewhere. He was subsequently MP for Dover from 1734 to 1741 in the footsteps of his father.[1]

He succeeded his father to Acrise Place in 1736. He served as a Commissioner of excise from 1742 to 1754.

He died in 1762, having married Mary, the daughter of Timothy Keyser, a London Merchant. They had 3 sons and 6 daughters.
