Richard James Oglesby (July 25, 1824 – April 24, 1899) was an American soldier and Republican politician from Illinois.
He served in the United States Army during the Mexican–American War of 1846–47, and after the war became a prospector during the California Gold Rush and was elected to the Illinois General Assembly.
During the American Civil War, Oglesby volunteered for the Union Army and rose to the rank of major general, serving in the Western Theater; he left the army when he was elected Governor of Illinois in 1864, and would serve three non-consecutive terms in that office (from 1865 to 1869, for ten days in 1873, and from 1885 to 1889).
He also served as a United States Senator from Illinois from 1873 to 1879. The town of Oglesby, Illinois, is named in his honor.
