Robert Ponsonby Tottenham (Robert Ponsonby Loftus until 1806) was an Irish Anglican Bishop in the first half of the 19th century.
He was born the younger son of Charles Loftus, 1st Marquess of Ely and Jane Myhill, daughter of Robert Myhill of Killarney, in Woodstock, County Wicklow on 5 September 1773 and educated at Christ Church, Oxford. He was Precentor of Cashel from 1798 until 1804 when he was elevated to the Episcopate as Bishop of Killaloe and Kilfenora. Upon his father's death, he inherited the Tottenham Green estate, changing his surname to Tottenham. In 1820 he was translated to Ferns and two years later to Clogher. He died in post on 28 April 1850.
