Richard Knill Freeman (1840, Stepney, London – 24 June 1904[1]) was a British architect who began his career at Derby and moved to Bolton, Lancashire in the late 1860s.[1] His work, in Victorian Gothic style and typically recalling the Decorated Period of later medieval architecture, can be seen in several cities and towns across the north of England.[2] He worked in total on about 140 buildings, of which about half survive in some form.[3]

Freeman was a fellow of the Manchester Society of Architects and president of that Society from 1890 to 1891.[3]
