Richard Goldsmith Burges (4 December 1847 – 25 September 1905) was an Australian pastoralist and politician who served in both houses of the Parliament of Western Australia.
Burges eventually took over Tipperary, his father's property near York, having earlier held various leases in the North-West.
He was elected to the York Roads Board in 1882, and served until his death, including as chairman for a period.
He was re-elected in 1898, but resigned in March 1903 to contest a Legislative Assembly by-election for the seat of York, caused by the bankruptcy of Frederick Monger.
[2] He died in office in September 1905 (aged 57), having caught pneumonia while returning from a trip to the eastern states and then suffered heart failure.
