John FitzGerald, 15th Knight of Kerry (1706 – 10 June 1741)[1] was an Irish politician and hereditary knight.
He was the older son of Maurice FitzGerald, 14th Knight of Kerry, and his wife Elizabeth Crosbie, second daughter of David Crosbie.[2] His younger brother was Robert FitzGerald.[3] In 1728, FitzGerald entered the Irish House of Commons and sat for Dingle until his death.[1] One year later, he succeeded his father as Knight of Kerry.[3]
On 12 April 1732, FitzGerald married Margaret Deane, youngest daughter of Joseph Deane, Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and by her, he had a daughter and a son.[2] FitzGerald died at The Grove, Dingle in 1741 and was succeeded in his title by his only son Maurice.[4]
