- Red Hand of Ulster: an ancient heraldic symbol of Ulster
- red right hand: (from Milton's Paradise Lost, Book II) the hand of God which can strike down vengeance
- (Spoken by the demon Belial): "Chained in the burning lake? / That sure was worse / What if the breath that kindled those grim fires / Awaked, should blow them into sevenfold rage / And plunge us into flames; or from above / Should intermitted vengeance arm again / His red right hand to plague us?"
