Richard Malone, 1st Baron Sunderlin

Richard Malone, 1st Baron Sunderlin (c.1738 – 14 April 1816) was an Anglo-Irish politician and peer.

Sunderlin was the eldest son and heir of Edmond Malone, judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland), and Catherine Collier, a cousin of the Earl of Catherlough. the noted Shakespearean scholar and editor, Edmond Malone. However, his brother predeceased him, and both titles became extinct upon his death. There followed a protracted dispute over the Malone inheritance, which was blamed on his Uncle Anthony, who though a very eminent lawyer, failed to make sufficiently clear in his will what should happen in such a contingency.
