Sir Richard Douglas Denman, 1st Baronet (24 August 1876 – 22 December 1957), was a British Member of Parliament (MP).
Denman was the son of Richard Denman and the great-grandson of Thomas Denman, 1st Baron Denman, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. Thomas Denman, 3rd Baron Denman, Governor-General of Australia, was his elder brother. Denman was elected to the House of Commons for Carlisle as a Liberal in January 1910, a seat he held until he stood down in 1918.
He stood unsuccessfully in Newcastle-upon-Tyne West in 1922, and was defeated again when he stood in Carlile 1923 general election.
He later joined the Labour Party and was elected for Leeds Central in 1929. He continued to sit for this constituency until 1945, from 1931 as a National Labour representative.
In 1945 Denman was created a Baronet, of Staffield in the County of Cumberland. He died in December 1957, aged 81, and was succeeded by his son Charles, who in 1971 also succeeded his cousin as fifth Baron Denman.
