Richard Hurst (1818 – 1873) was an English first-class cricketer.
Hurst was born at Cowley in 1818.
He made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's in 1843,[1] though his overall association with the University of Oxford is unknown.
Batting twice against the MCC, he was dismissed for 8 runs in the Oxford first innings by Jemmy Dean, while in their second innings he was dismissed by the same bowler for 12 runs.
[2] Playing in the same Oxford side were possible relations John Hurst and Edmund Hurst.
