Anthony Foster (1705 – April 1779), of Collon, County Louth, was an Anglo-Irish politician and judge.


He was the eldest son of John Foster, MP for Dunleer, and his wife Elizabeth Fortescue, youngest daughter of William Fortescue of Newrath, who was a member of the Fortescue family which later held the title Earl of Clermont. The Fosters had come to Ireland from Cumberland in the previous century and had acquired lands and political influence in Louth. He was Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer 1766-1777. Prior to his appointment to the Bench, he represented the family constituency of Dunleer in the Irish House of Commons from 1738 to 1761 and subsequently Louth from 1761 to 1767.
