Randall Edward Plunkett, 15th Baron Dunsany (5 September 1804 – 7 April 1852) was an Anglo-Irish peer and Conservative politician.

Plunkett was the son of Edward Plunkett, 14th Baron Dunsany and his first wife, Hon. Charlotte Louisa Lawless.

He represented the seat as a Conservative until 1837. On 11 December 1848, he inherited his father's title, becoming Baron of Dunsany. In 1850 Dunsany was elected as a representative peer for Ireland and took his seat in the House of Lords.

On 29 December 1838, he married Elizabeth Evelyn. Dunsany was succeeded in his title by his younger brother, Edward.[1]
