Richard Munro Fox MBE (born 5 June 1960 in Winsford, Somerset) is a British slalom canoeist who competed for Great Britain from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s.

He won eleven medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with ten golds (K1: 1981, 1983, 1985, 1989, 1993; K1 team: 1979, 1981, 1983, 1987, 1993) and a bronze (K1: 1979).

His initial interest was purely recreational and Fox would go on canoeing trips with other club paddlers in boats he and his father had built together.

Fox was reluctant but eventually by 1976 got involved in racing and made the British Junior Canoe Slalom team as a reserve.

At the first race of the season on the River Tay at Grandtully in Scotland Fox went faster than the current British No.1 and future world champion, Albert Kerr, but again suffered from too many penalty points.

Fox's kayaking performance was plagued by crashing into too many gates, causing him to miss out on selection for the British team in 1978.

In the K1 Slalom event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, Jessica, at the age of 18, gained revenge against the 44-yr-old Czech paddler Štěpánka Hilgertová who had beaten her mother Myriam to the K1 gold medal in the Atlanta Summer Olympics in 1996, sixteen years earlier when Jessica was only 2 years old.

Jessica came second in the final of the K1, improving on her mother's bronze from Atlanta 1996 and her father's 4th in Barcelona 1992 to earn the immediate nickname from her teammates and the press of "the Silver Fox".
