Richard William Wright (Hatch End, 28 juli 1943 – Londen, 15 september 2008) was een Engelse musicus, zanger en multi-instrumentalist. Hij is het bekendst van zijn carrière als de toetsenist van Pink Floyd. Wrights spel droeg bij aan de karakteristieke klank van Pink Floyd. Wright zong ook op de achtergrond en soms de hoofdpartij op het podium en in de studio met Pink Floyd (het opmerkelijkst in de nummers "Time", "Us and Them", "Echoes", "Wearing the Inside Out", "Astronomy Domine" en "Mathilda Mother"). Hoewel hij geen productief liedjesschrijver was, zoals zijn medebandleden Roger Waters en David Gilmour, heeft hij belangrijke stukken van de muziek gecomponeerd voor de albums zoals Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here en The Division Bell. Voor Pink Floyds laatste studioalbum The Endless River zijn enkele overgebleven stukken gebruikt die door Wright zijn gespeeld tijdens de opnames van The Division Bell.
