Paulet St Andrew St John, 8th Baron St John of Bletso and 5th Baronet (1711–1714) was an 18th-century English aristocrat who succeeded as a peer, and as a baronet, but died in infancy.
Sir St Andrew St John, 4th Baronet, his father, was heir presumptive to his second cousin, Paulet St John, 3rd Earl of Bolingbroke, both of whom died in 1711; Paulet St John was born posthumously and so succeeded at birth to the family's ancient barony (but not the more recently created earldom, to which he was not in remainder) as well as to his father's baronetcy. He died an infant at the age of three, being succeeded as 9th Baron by his uncle, William St John.[1]
