Richard Willoughby Gott (born 28 October 1938, Aston Tirrold, England) is a British journalist and historian.
A former Latin America correspondent and features editor for the British newspaper The Guardian, he is known for his radical politics and a connection to Che Guevara.
He resigned from The Guardian in 1994 after claims that he had been a Soviet 'agent of influence', a tag Gott denied.
