Derek Walter "Dick" Richardson (born 3 November 1934) is an English former cricketer, who played in one Test for England in 1957. His county cricket career was spent entirely with Worcestershire.[1]

The cricket writer Colin Bateman noted, "Richardson's Test career was brief but historic. When he played in the same team as his more famous brother, Peter, at Trent Bridge in 1957 against the West Indies, it was the first time... [in the 20th century] of siblings appearing in the same team for England".[2]
