Richard Bebb (12 January 1927 – 12 April 2006) was an English actor of stage, screen and radio.

[2] Bebb's father Herbert Edward Williams was a physician whose practice was run from part of St Mary's Lodge, the family's impressive home in Stoke Newington.

Bebb was educated at Highgate School in North London, and attended Trinity College, Cambridge from 1944–1947.

[8] He did not favour discs based on established values and reputation, but judged singers on their musical merit.

Among singers and performances he had high regard for Dino Borgioli's Do not go, my love, Frida Leider's version of Eboli's aria in Don Carlos, and Magda Olivero's Sola, perduta, abbandonata.
