Richard Tyldesley, Comptroller and Clerk of the Rolls of the Isle of Man in the 1660s and 1670s.

He was one of the officers who conducted the prosecution of Illiam Dhone. The examinations in the case were taken before him with Richard Stevenson, Henry Nowell, the Deemsters John Christian and Thomas Norris, Hugh Cannell, the Calcotts, the Huddlestons and Robert Quayle, and his name is among the officers attending at Castle Rushen in October 1662.

He was still in place a decade later, and his office survived a difficulty. Lord Charles died about Christmas 1672, and by his death the commissions of all the Island's officers determined and utterly ceased, and with them their authority to act. Henry Nowell was then Deputy-Governor, Richard Stevenson the late Receiver-General and assistant to the courts, Thomas Norris and Edward Christian the Deemsters, Tyldesley Comptroller and Clerk of the Rolls, and William Qualtrough Attorney-General. A court was nevertheless held, and the Manx lawyers afterwards drew from that the conclusion that by the common law of the Island the officers continued in their places on any change of sovereignty until superseded by the new Lord, or until the new Lord's will was known.

He married into the Manx bench. His wife was Isabel, daughter of Deemster Thomas Norris. The family held the Friary, and the last of the name there was Margaret, daughter of Thomas Tyldesley of the Friary, who married at Kirk Arbory in November 1795.
