Francis Augustus[1] Richards (22 February 1880 – 13 June 1961) was a British sailor.

He competed at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp and won a gold medal in the 18 ft. Dinghy class with Trevor Hedberg.

It is uncertain if this crew was actually awarded the gold medals - they were not able to finish the first competition and they did not start in any other; they do not appear in the Official Report of the Antwerp Games.
