Richard's pipit (Anthus richardi) is a medium-sized passerine bird which breeds in open grasslands in the East Palearctic.

It is a long-distance migrant moving to open lowlands in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

The English name and richardi are for the French naturalist Charles Richard (1745–1835), director of postal services at Lunéville and friend of Francois Levaillant.

Its flight is strong and undulating, and it gives a characteristic explosive "shreep" call, somewhat similar to the chirp of a house sparrow.

The song is a repeated series of monotonous buzzy notes given in an undulating song-flight.

A small part of the population regularly moves west in autumn and birds have been recorded from most countries in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

It is seen annually between September and November at coastal watchpoints in areas such as Britain, the Netherlands and Scandinavia with occasional birds appearing in spring.

It inhabits grassland, steppe and cultivated land, preferring more fertile, moist habitats.
