Richard Bremridge (1803 – 15 June 1878)[1] was a British Conservative politician.

Bremridge was first elected MP for Barnstaple in 1847. He was re-elected in 1852, but this vote was overturned in 1853 due to bribery,[2] and the writ for the seat was suspended. He then became MP again in 1864, after a by-election in 1863 was overturned, but did not stand for re-election at the next election in 1865.[3]
