Richard Tomlins or Tomlyns (1565 in Ludlow – 1650)[1] was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1621 and 1629.
He was made an honorary member of Lincoln's Inn in 1625.
[2] He was elected MP for Ludlow again in 1625, 1626 and 1628 and sat until 1629 when King Charles dispensed with parliament for eleven years.
[2] Tomlins was gravely ill in 1632–34, and retired to Richmond, Surrey, where he was buried in 1650.
His will was proved on 17 December 1650 despite a legal claim against his estate by the corporation of Ludlow; this claim was pursued on behalf of the corporation by his relation Richard Tomlins who served as a Baron of the Exchequer (judge) during the Interregnum.
