Richard Ó Fearghail (O'Ferrall) was an Irish bishop of Ardagh in the 16th century. This see was located in the Ó Fearghail lands in Annaly; six earlier bishops had been members of the same family.
He was nominated on 2 May 1541 by Henry VIII, consecrated on 22 April 1542; and died in 1553. Pope Paul III would later appoint Patrick MacMahon on 14 November 1541 in opposition to Ó Fearghail.
