Sir William Guise, 5th Baronet (1737 – 6 April 1783), was a British politician who accompanied Edward Gibbon on his Grand Tour of Italy and sat in the House of Commons between 1770 and 1783.
In August 1770 Guise was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Gloucestershire and held the seat until his death. He is reported to have spoken only twice in Parliament.[3]
Guise was unmarried and the baronetcy became extinct on his death on 6 April 1783.[3] His estates were inherited by a relative John Guise of Highnam, who was created the first Guise baronet, of Highnam the same year.
