Sir Herbert Springet, 1st Baronet (ca. 1613 5 January 1662) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1646 and 1662.

Springet was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Springet of Broyle Place and his wife Mary Bellingham, daughter of John Bellingham of Erringham, Shoreham. He was educated at Hawkhurst Grammar School under Mr Godwin and was admitted at Christ's College, Cambridge on 3 July 1628, aged 15. He was a student of Middle Temple in 1630 and travelled abroad in France in 1635.[1]

In 1646 Springet was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for New Shoreham as a replacement in the Long Parliament and held the seat until he was excluded in Pride's Purge in 1648. He was also a MP for Sussex in the First Protectorate Parliament from 1654 to 1655.[1]
