Richard Power (died 1794) was an Irish politician, barrister and judge of the late eighteenth century. He sat in the Irish House of Commons from 1767 to 1772, and was then appointed a Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). He was also Usher and Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery (Ireland). In his capacity as Accountant-General he was accused of illegally enriching himself, and the charge of corruption is believed to have led to his committing suicide in 1794.
