Richard Berry (25 March 1824 – 20 January 1908) was an English ship's captain who became a City Missionary in Adelaide, South Australia.
Captain Berry was born at the seaport of Ilfracombe, in Devonshire, and early resolved on the life of a sailor.
Whilst in that position he met Captain George Johnston, who was visiting Scotland for the purpose of obtaining a steamboat for the River Murray trade.
He took a keen interest in the Adelaide Benevolent and Strangers' Friend Society, and at one period also acted as religious instructor to the Yatala Labor Prison, which he visited weekly.
Captain Berry labored steadily on at the Ackland street Mission among the poor and needy in the city, and had the satisfaction of seeing it grow to such an extent that larger premises became necessary.
