Richard W. Craig (August 26, 1877 – July 16, 1966) was a Canadian lawyer and politician who served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1922 to 1927.

Winnipeg's Progressive MLA aligned with the United Farmers of Manitoba (UFM), which swept the rural constituencies to emerge as the largest party in the legislature.

[1] Craig emerged as Premier John Bracken's most trusted confidante during the parliament that followed, and became known as the government's strongest voice in the legislature.

Like the premier, Craig believed that Manitoba should be governed in a non-partisan, efficient and business-like manner.

[1] Although a successful minister and a young man, Craig chose to retire from the legislature after only a single term.
