Joseph-Adolphe Richard (February 14, 1887 – July 12, 1964) was a Liberal Member of the House of Commons of Canada.
Richard ran as a Liberal candidate in the provincial district of Saint-Maurice in the 1944 election.
He received 23% of the vote and finished third, behind Marc Trudel of the Union Nationale and René Hamel of the Bloc populaire.
In the 1949 election, Richard successfully ran as a Liberal candidate for the federal district of Saint-Maurice—Laflèche, against Hamel, who was the incumbent.
Under his tenure, a new main post office was constructed at 395 Avenue de la Station and the 62nd (Shawinigan) Field Artillery Regiment moved into a new armory, located at 1825 Boulevard Royal.
