Ralph de Brantingham was an English noble of the mid-fourteenth century, who served as King's Chamberlain to Edward III.

De Brantingham was appointed King's Chamberlain on 31 January 1349 and admitted the following day, 1 February 1349. He was succeeded by William de Mulsho, who was himself appointed on 21 February 1365, which serves as a terminus ante quem for de Brantingham's reign. In any event, de Brantingham continued to serve as the king's clerk as late as 1366.

Early in his career, on 27 February 1346, de Brantingham was presented to the church of Kirkby Thore in the diocese of Carlisle. De Brantingham also held a prebend of the collegiate church in South Malling and was parson of the church of Medburn in the diocese of Lincoln until 4 October 1366, when, by writ at Westminster, the king exchanged de Brantingham's benefices with that of Nicholas de Chaddesden, also the king's clerk - namely, the parsonage of the church of Cherryng in the diocese of Canterbury.

By deed of 10 January 1348,Ralph de Neville, second Baron Neville de Raby and described in the deed as a gardener and farmer, granted de Brantingham two shops in the hamlet of Penrith, Cumbria.
