Richard Conner (December 23, 1843 – November 4, 1923) was an American Civil War Union Army soldier who received the Medal of Honor for his bravery in action.

Sergeant Conner was transferred to the 8th New Jersey's Company E, with whom he served until the end of the Civil War in May 1865.

After the war he moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was a resident of that city when he was awarded the Medal of Honor on September 17, 1897, which recognized his act of bravery 35 years later.

He died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was buried there in North Cedar Hill Cemetery in Section W3, Lot 28.

His grave is marked by an upright government-issue Medal of Honor marker, which was erected in 2000, seventy-six years after his death.
