Richard Wharton was a British barrister and politician. Wharton studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge and became barrister of the Inner Temple in 1789. He successfully stood as a Tory for the constituency of Durham in 1802, but his election was voided in February 1804, "his payment of the travelling expenses of the non-resident freemen having been construed as bribery." He was elected again in 1806, and held the seat until 1820. Wharton was appointed Chairman of Ways and Means in January 1808,
