Richard Dyott (died 1891)

Richard Dyott (died 1891) was a British Conservative politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Lichfield. He held the seat from 1874 until his death in 1891.

Details regarding his early life, education, and professional background prior to entering Parliament are scarce, though he appears to have been a landowner and member of the Staffordshire gentry. In Parliament, Dyott was generally considered a low-profile MP who primarily supported Conservative policies. He was known to have been attentive to the interests of his constituents in Lichfield.

His death in 1891 triggered a by-election in Lichfield, which was won by the Liberal candidate, Henry Fulford.
