Richard Drake of Esher, Surrey, (Esher, Surrey, 1535 — 11 July 1603), Equerry of the Stable to Elizabeth I of England, was the son of John and Anne (Grenville) Drake and first cousin of the navigator Sir Francis Drake, the son of Richard's brother Edmund. He served as factor and prize agent to his cousin, taking charge of the Spanish Armada prisoners taken off Plymouth in 1588, which included the Spanish vice-admiral, Don Pedro de Valdés, whom he kept at his manor of Esher in Surrey, pending arrangements for the ransom, a subject over which his heirs and Sir Francis's quarrelled.
