Ponsonby Tottenham (1746 – 13 December 1818) was an Anglo-Irish politician.
Tottenham sat in the Irish House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Fethard between 1779 and 1790, before sitting for Bannow from 1790 and 1797. He then represented Clonmines between 1797 and the seat's disfranchisement under the Acts of Union 1800.[1] In 1800 he had been appointed Clerk of the Ordnance in the Irish Board of Ordnance and was awarded compensation of £487 2s. 6d per annum following the abolition of the post after the Union.
