Bryan Anthony Richardson (born 24 February 1944) is a former English cricketer. Richardson was a left-handed batsman who played first-class cricket for Warwickshire from 1963 to 1967. He was born at Kenilworth, Warwickshire.

Richardson made his first-class debut for Warwickshire against Scotland in 1963 at The Grange, Edinburgh.[1] He played first-class cricket for Warwickshire for five seasons, making a total of 40 appearances, the last of which came in the 1967 County Championship against Yorkshire at Acklam Park, Middlesbrough.[1] He scored a total of 1,323 runs at an average of 19.45, with a high score of 126.[2] against Cambridge University in 1967.[3] This season was also his most successful, with 727 runs at an average of 30.29, including both his first-class centuries, as well as three half-centuries.[4] He also made a single List A appearance for the county in the quarter-final of the 1964 Gillette Cup against Northamptonshire.[5] In what was a Warwickshire victory, Richardson scored 17 runs before being dismissed by Brian Crump.[6]

His brothers, Peter and Dick, both played Test cricket for England.

He was chairman of Coventry City F.C. from 1993 until 2002.[7]
