Jacques Wingfield (1519-1587) was an Anglo-Irish soldier and public official of the Tudor era. He is also sometimes known as John Wingfield or Jack Wingfield. He was the son of Richard Wingfield and Bridget Wingfield, who was the heiress of Stone Castle. He spent much of his youth in Calais, which was then an English possession. Fluent in French he spent time in Paris at the French court. In 1553 he briefly sat as a Member of Parliament for Taunton. Following the death of his patron Stephen Gardiner, whom he had accompanied on several diplomatic missions, he went to Ireland where he was made the Constable of Dublin Castle and Master of Ordnance.
