Arthur John Richardson (24 July 1888, Clare, South Australia – 23 December 1973, Semaphore, South Australia) was an Australian Test cricketer who played nine Tests for Australia.

Richardson was one of the few Australians to play with spectacles. In October 1927 Richardson was appointed by the Western Australian Cricket Association as state coach for a two year contract.^[1] In 1935, Richardson served as an umpire in two Tests in the West Indies.

Richardson played for Bacup and Burnley Cricket Clubs in the Lancashire League in the 1930s. At his first match at Todmorden Cricket Club's ground Richardson was so overwhelmed by the scenery he stopped Todmorden player Fred Root in his bowling run up so he could admire the view.^[2]

Arthur Richardson is unrelated to Victor Richardson, his former Australian and South Australian team-mate.
