Kane William Richardson (born 12 February 1991) is an Australian international cricketer who plays domestic cricket for Queensland and Melbourne Renegades.

Since 2013, Richardson has played international cricket for Australia in both One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals, and as a teenager, he played for Australia's Under-19 team, winning the 2010 Under-19 Cricket World Cup with them. Richardson was also a member of the Australian team that won the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Richardson is a right-arm fast bowler from South Australia. He has struggled over the years for consistency in first-class matches, but is widely regarded as a white ball specialist due to his successes in the shorter forms of the game. In addition to being a skilled bowler, he is a competent batsman and an athletic fielder.

In May 2022, Richardson joined the Queensland cricket team and left the South Australia cricket team.^[1]
