Sir Richard Butler, 5th Baronet (1699 – 25 November 1771) was an Irish politician and baronet.

He was the eldest son of James Butler, second son of Sir Thomas Butler, 3rd Baronet, and his wife Frances Abney, daughter of Sir Edward Abney. Butler represented Carlow County in the Irish House of Commons from 1730 to 1761. In 1732, he succeeded his uncle Pierce as baronet.[1]

In 1728, he married Henrietta Percy, daughter of Henry Percy.[2] They had four sons and six daughters. Butler died in 1771 and was succeeded by his eldest son Thomas.[3] His third son Pierce Butler was an American soldier, a US Founding Father and Signor of the Constitution, then South Carolina's inaugural senator in the United States Senate. His great-grandson, hereditary and absentee plantation owner Pierce Mease Butler, authorized The Great Slave Auction of 1859 to pay gambling debts.
