Richard Sale (4 October 1919 – 3 February 1987) was an English schoolmaster and cricketer who played for Warwickshire between 1939 and 1947 and for Derbyshire between 1949 and 1954.
In the same year he made his debut for Warwickshire in a match in which the only play was his opening partnership.
The Second World War interrupted his academic and playing career, as he was commissioned in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry and served in Canada and Normandy.
Sale then became a master at Repton School, and made his debut for Derbyshire in the 1949 season.
Sale with Guy Willatt, and John Eggar formed a trio of Repton masters who played for the county.
