Richard Albert Fitzgerald (1806 – c. June 1847) was an Irish Repeal Association politician.
He was educated at Clongowes Wood College and St. Patrick's, Carlow College, and also spent some time being taught in Paris.
Fitzgerald was first elected Repeal Association MP for Tipperary at a by-election in 1845—caused by the death of Robert Otway-Cave—and held the seat until 1847, when he did not seek re-election.
