Evan Sloane Richards (23 January 1862 – 19 April 1931) was a Welsh international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Swansea, captaining the club through three seasons during the 1880s.
Before being selected to represent the Welsh team, he was made captain of Swansea in the 1883/84 season.
The next season Richards was capped for Wales in the opening game of the 1885 Home Nations Championship against England.
Richards was again Swansea captain in the 1886/87 season, and was awarded his second and final Welsh cap in the Scottish game of the 1887 Home Nations Championship.
Wales were beaten heavily in a one-sided game, and Richards lost his place to Edward Alexander.
