Ralph Sneyd (1692–1733)
Ralph Sneyd was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1713 to 1715.
Sneyd's grandfather and great-uncle were also MPs. He was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford. He was elected in 1713 shortly after his 21st birthday. He was classed as a Tory but he was a relatively inactive MP and did not contest the 1715 election.
During the 1715 riots Sneyd led a mob that attacked the Dissenting meeting house in Newcastle-under-Lyme, for which he was indicted. In July 1717 he was appointed a justice of the peace and in 1725 he was appointed a deputy lieutenant.
His cousin William Sneyd was elected MP for Lichfield in 1718.
