Robert Hudson Borwick, 1st Baron Borwick (21 January 1845 – 27 January 1936), known as Sir Robert Borwick from 1902 to 1916, and as Sir Robert Borwick, 1st Baronet from 1916 to 1922, was a British businessman and a Justice of the Peace for the County of London. Borwick was the son of George Borwick of Torquay, and his wife Jane (née Hudson), and was Chairman of the family firm George Borwick & Sons Ltd, manufacturer of baking and custard powders, which had been founded by his father. Robert Borwick was made a Knight Bachelor in 1902 and created a Baronet (in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom), of Eden Lacy in the County of Lancaster, in 1916. In 1922 he was further honoured when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Borwick, of Hawkshead in the County of Lancaster, for "providing hospital treatment for the sick and wounded Colonial officers throughout the war". He was also a Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Lord Borwick married in 1872, Caroline (d. April 1936), daughter of the Reverend Richard Daniel Johnston of Kurnool, India.
