Ralph Sneyd (1692 – October 1733) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1713 to 1715.[1]
Sneyd's grandfather and great-uncle were also MPs. He was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford.[1] He was elected in 1713 shortly after his 21st birthday. He was classed as a Tory but he was a relatively inactive MP and did not contest the 1715 election.[1]
During the 1715 riots Sneyd led a mob that attacked the Dissenting meeting house in Newcastle-under-Lyme, for which he was indicted.[2] In July 1717 he was appointed a justice of the peace and in 1725 he was appointed a deputy lieutenant.[1]
His cousin William Sneyd was elected MP for Lichfield in 1718.[3]
