Rear Admiral Richard Tyrell (1716?–1766) was an Irish officer in the Royal Navy.
Tyrell was a nephew of Sir Peter Warren, and spent most of his active service in the West Indies, especially in command of the 74-gun HMS Buckingham. He became commander-in-chief of the Leeward Islands Station in 1765.
Having resigned command of the Leeward Islands Station in 1766, he died of fever aboard Princess Louisa, and was buried at sea. He has a memorial in the south nave aisle of Westminster Abbey.
