'''Sir Ralph Bingley''' (c.1570–1627) was a Welsh soldier who served and settled in Ireland.

Born in [[Hawarden]], [[Flintshire]], Bingley served as an officer under Sir [[Henry Docwra]], as part of the expedition to establish garrisons in [[Derry]] and the [[Lough Foyle]] during [[Tyrone's Rebellion]] (1594–1603). Following its capture, Bingley was placed in command of [[Rathmullan]]. In 1602, he was granted land near Rathmullan by the Crown as a reward for his services. In the [[Plantation of Ulster]] he was granted 1,100 acres in [[Kilmacrennan]], including the town of Rathmullan.

His brother [[Richard Bingley]] also served in Ireland and became a landowner in the Plantation, with northern [[County Donegal]] becoming a centre of Welsh settlement due to the influence of the brothers.<ref>Morgan p.81</ref>

During [[O'Doherty's Rebellion]] of 1608 he returned to active service with the [[Irish Army (Kingdom of Ireland)|Irish Army]], following the [[Burning of Derry]].<ref>Morgan p.38</ref> In 1624, he was elected [[Mayor of Derry]].<ref>Morgan p.99</ref> He was a strong supporter of [[George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham]]<ref>Morgan p.68</ref> and led a force of Irish troops to serve under him at the [[Siege of La Rochelle]]. He was killed during the battle of the Pont du Feneau.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}}
