Richard Britton (24 April 1970 – 18 September 2005)[1] was one of Ireland's leading motorcycle road racers, as well as a team manager.

He won the Regal 600 Championship four times and was the fastest Irishman to lap the Isle of Man TT circuit.

At the end of that year he won the first of his four Regal 600 Championships but an accident at the 1999 season-opening Cookstown 100 saw him sidelined for most of the season with a broken arm.

He also rode for British Superbike team Rizla Suzuki in a one-off ride at the North West 200.

Britton died on 18 September 2005 in a freak accident at a new Irish national road race at Ballybunion, County Kerry, when the engine on his 250 machine seized.
