Lord Richard Cavendish (19 June 1752 – 7 September 1781) was an English nobleman and politician. He was the second son of William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire and his wife, Charlotte.

Cavendish was educated in Hackney and at Trinity College, Cambridge.

In 1773, he entered the House of Commons as MP for Lancaster, and moved to No. 1 Savile Row, London, where he resided until 1781.[1][2] He was one of the few attendees at his brother Devonshire's wedding in 1774.[1][2] In 1778 and 1779 he served with the navy as a gentleman volunteer. In 1781, he went abroad in hopes of recovering his failing health; but he continued to decline and died unmarried in Naples.[1][2]
