{{Use Australian English|date=June 2015}}{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2014}}Richard Davies Ireland (1816 – 11 January 1877) was an Australian politician, a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly and Attorney-General.^[1]^[2]

Ireland was born in Galway, educated at Trinity College, Dublin (B.A., 1837)^[2] and was called to the Irish bar in 1838.^[4]

Ireland emigrated to Victoria in 1852, and was called to the local bar in the following year.^[4] His brilliant and gratuitous defence of the Ballarat rioters brought him enormous popularity, and he was elected to represent Castlemaine Boroughs in the Assembly in 1857, and was appointed Solicitor-General in March 1858 in the John O'Shanassy Ministry,^[3] retiring with his colleagues in October 1859, when he was returned for Maryborough.^[4] Ireland joined the Richard Heales Administration as Attorney-General in November 1860, but resigned in July 1861, four months before the fall of the Ministry. When the O'Shanassy Ministry, which succeeded, came in November, Ireland again became Attorney-General, retiring with his colleagues in June 1863, he did not again hold office.^[4] Ireland represented Villiers and Heytesbury from August 1861 until resigning in April 1864, he then represented Kilmore from February 1866 to December 1867.^[1]

Ireland died in South Yarra, Melbourne on 11 January 1877; his wife Sophia Mary, née Carr predeceased him. Sophia's sister, Selina, was married to Henry Samuel Chapman.
