Ralph Walters (c. 1800 – 20 April 1865)[1] was a British Liberal Member of Parliament.

After failing to be elected as an Independent Liberal candidate at Gateshead in 1852,[2][3] Walters was elected Liberal MP for Beverley at the 1859 general election. However, just four months after his election, he was unseated due to bribery during campaigning.[4][5][6][7]
