Ralph Foliot (died c. 1198) was a medieval English clergyman and royal justice.Foliot was a nephew of Gilbert Foliot first Bishop of Hereford and later Bishop of London but the names of Ralph’s parents and his place of birth are unknown. He first appears in a charter of his uncle in 1144 while Gilbert was at Hereford and Ralph is described as nepote episcopi or the bishop’s nephew. Probably Ralph was encouraged in an ecclesiastical career by his uncle.
