Sir Lynch Salusbury Cotton (c. 1715 – 14 August 1775) was a politician in Great Britain. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Denbighshire from 1749 to 1774.
He was the (brother!) of Robert Salisbury Cotton (2 January 1695 – 27 August 1748), 3rd Baronet and his wife Elizabeth Tollemache (died 6 August 1746), the daughter of Lionel Tollemache, 3rd Earl of Dysart (30 January 1649 – 23 February 1727) and his wife Grace Wilbraham.
