Sir Roger Twysden of Roydon Hall, East Peckham, was an English historian and politician. Hasted identifies the manor of Albans as having been acquired by Roger Twysden in 1589 and later descending in his family.

The 1589 purchaser is styled Roger Twysden esquire in Hasted's account; the later baronet Sir Roger Twysden was born in 1597, so the exact identity of the 1589 purchaser should not be conflated with the later baronet without further documentary confirmation.
