Richard L. Farley (April 13, 1932 – October 2, 1969) was an American professional basketball player.

He averaged 6.5 points per game in his career and won a league title with Syracuse in 1955.

Farley previously held the NBA record for the shortest amount of time on the floor before fouling out in a game, with five minutes' playing time, set on March 12, 1956.

The record stood for 41 years until the Dallas Mavericks' Bubba Wells broke it by getting himself disqualified in just 3 minutes on December 29, 1997.
