Duncan Forbes 3rd of Culloden (1644–1704) was a politician and member of the Parliament of Scotland between 1678 and 1704. He was a strong supporter of Whiggism, a political philosophy developed during the 1638 to 1651 Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which advocated the supremacy of Parliament over the monarch and opposed Catholicism.
Two of his sons, John (1673-1734), and Duncan (1685-1747), played prominent roles in dealing with the Jacobite rising of 1715 and its aftermath; Duncan also played a similar role in respect of the rising of 1745.
