Ralph Crockett (b. at Barton, near Farndon, Cheshire; executed at Chichester, 1 October 1588) was an English Roman Catholic priest. He is a Catholic martyr, beatified in 1929. Educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, and ordained at Reims in 1585, he was captured on board ship at Littlehampton, Sussex, 19 April 1586, with three other priests, Thomas Bramston, George Potter, and Edward James. All were sent up to London and committed to prison 27 April 1586. After the failure of the Spanish Armada, the English Government took severe measures against some of the Catholic priests in its custody. Crockett and James with two others, John Oven and Francis Edwardes, were selected for trial, which took place at Chichester on 30 September 1588. All were condemned to death, under 27 Eliz. c. 2, for being priests and coming into the realm; but Oven on taking the Oath of Supremacy was respited.
