Clifton James "Jack" Richards (born 10 August 1958 in Penzance, Cornwall, England) is an English former first-class cricketer, who played in eight Tests and 22 ODIs for England from 1981 to 1988.
He was a wicket-keeper and a useful lower-middle order batsman, who made 133 for England against Australia at the WACA, Perth in 1987.
The cricket correspondent Colin Bateman remarked, "England's most gifted wicketkeeper-batsman since Alan Knott.
Always competitive, often outspoken and sometimes disruptive, Richards was alert and agile with the gloves although prone to the odd lapse".
