David Robert Ross (1797 – 27 July 1851)[1] was an Irish Whig politician and army officer.[2][3]
After unsuccessfully contesting the constituency at the 1841 general election, he was elected Whig MP for Belfast at a by-election in 1842—caused by the previous poll being declared void—and held the seat until 1847 when he did not seek re-election.[3][4]
