Richard Meredith (New Zealand politician)

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, but in the 1902 election he was defeated for the replacement seat of Hurunui by Andrew Rutherford (who was also of the Liberal Party).

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.
