Richard Butler, 1st Earl of Arran (1639–1686) was the fourth son of James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde. He served as Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1682 to 1684 while his father, the Lord Lieutenant, was absent. He sat in the Irish House of Lords as Earl of Arran and in the English one as Baron Butler of Weston. When William Howard, 1st Viscount Stafford was accused of treason during the Popish Plot, Arran braved the anti-Catholic hysteria and voted not guilty.
