Richard Meredith (January 1843 – 20 August 1918) was a Liberal Party Member of Parliament in New Zealand.
He won the Ashley electorate in the 1890 general election against James Dupré Lance,[1] but in the 1902 election he was defeated for the replacement seat of Hurunui by Andrew Rutherford (who was also of the Liberal Party).[2]
Born at Tullow, County Carlow, Ireland, in January 1843, Meredith emigrated to New Zealand in 1863, arriving at Lyttelton. He died at Waimate on 20 August 1918.[3]
