Canon Richard Rhodes Bristow MA (June 1838 – 15 March 1914) was an English clergyman in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was involved with various church and charitable organisations.

Born in Greenwich, England, the son of a wool importer, Bristow was a deacon of St Philip's Church, Clerkenwell, and vicar of St Stephen's, Lewisham, and was Canon missioner of Southwark Cathedral, and Hon. Canon of Rochester Cathedral. Bristow spent his 48-year working life in London, and, upon his death, was described as "one of the most active and best-known clergymen in the metropolis".[2]
