Richard Lloyd (c. 1661 - 1714) was an Anglo-Irish plantation owner and Whig politician who sat in the British House of Commons from 1708 to 1711.
Inchiquin was replaced by Sir William Beeston, who asked that Lloyd be appointed to the Jamaican Council, and he sat as a councillor from 1692 to 1698.
Lloyd became judge of admiralty in Jamaica in 1693 and in 1694 played a part in the island’s defence against a French attack.
[1] Lloyd did not return to Jamaica, but continued to run his Jamaican plantations as an absentee landlord.
At the 1710 British general election he was returned as MP for Ashburton but was unseated on petition on 17 March 1711.
