Ralph Crockett was a 16th-century English priest who was executed for his religious convictions. Born in Cheshire in 1522, he received his education at both Oxford and Cambridge before working as a schoolmaster in Norfolk and Ipswich. Following further studies at the English College in Rheims, he was ordained a priest in 1585. After surviving a shipwreck near Littlehampton in 1586, he was eventually tried in Chichester and died in 1588 for his Catholic faith.
