Richard Rolland Kenney (September 9, 1856 – August 14, 1931) was an American lawyer and politician from Dover, in Kent County, Delaware.

He attended public schools and Laurel Academy, and graduated in 1878 from Hobart College in Geneva, New York.

Subsequently, he studied the law, was admitted to the bar in 1881, and began a practice in Dover, Delaware.

He filled the vacancy in the term commencing March 4, 1895, caused by the ongoing Addicks controversy.

Kenney died at Dover and is buried there in the Christ Episcopal Church Cemetery.
