Cole Digges (1691–1744) was a Virginia merchant, planter and politician who helped establish Yorktown, Virginia, and served more than two decades on the Virginia Governor's Council after representing Warwick County in the House of Burgesses. Complicating matters, his three sons each named one of their sons after this man (their grandfather), and genealogists disagree as to their respective parentage.
