"Pool Hall Richard" is a song and single by British group, Faces and written by group members, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. It was produced by Mike Bobak and Ron Nevison.[2]

Despite appearing on the picture sleeve, Ronnie Lane does not appear on either side of the single, having quit the band in June 1973, before it was recorded in early July and released as a single that December. Instead, guitarist Ronnie Wood plays bass on the A-side, while Lane's permanent replacement Tetsu Yamauchi plays bass on the live B-side, recorded at the Reading Festival in August 1973. Yamauchi played his first live dates with the Faces in July 1973, but did not officially join the band until after "Pool Hall Richard" had been recorded.
