Richard William Pearse (3 December 1877 - 29 July 1953) was a New Zealand farmer and inventor. It is claimed that Pearse flew and landed a machine on 31 March 1903, nine months before the Wright brothers flew their aircraft. This is what makes him famous. However, he himself never claimed it.

Richard Pearse is known for his claims to have built and flown a powered flying machine before the Wright brothers. However, there is limited evidence to support his assertions, and the Wright brothers are widely credited with achieving the first sustained, powered, heavier-than-air flight in 1903. Pearse's contributions remain controversial and debated among aviation historians.
