Richard Stakelum (born 1963 in Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary, Ireland) is an Irish hurling manager and former player. He is the current manager of the Dublin under-21 hurling team.

Stakelum enjoyed a successful playing career at club level with Borris–Ileigh and at inter-county level with Tipperary. He was a member of the latter team in the late 1980s and captained them to a first Munster title in sixteen years in 1987. Stakelum also captured All-Ireland, Munster and county honours at club level.

In retirement from playing Stakelum became involved in team management. At club level he brought the Kilmacud Crokes minor hurling team to championship victory in 2007.
