Richard Larter (19 May 1929 – 25 July 2014) was an Australian painter, often identified as one of Australia's few highly recognisable pop artists.

Many of his works are brightly coloured and draw on popular culture for source materials, reproducing news photographs, film stills, and images from pornography.

In this Larter is similar to other noted Australian pop artists, such as, Mike Brown and Martin Sharp.

Notable exhibitions include his 2002 show Stripperama: Richard Larter at the Heide Museum of Modern Art[2] and the show Andy and Oz: parallel visions organised by the National Gallery of Australia (NGA), and exhibited at The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, US, in 2007.

[3] Larter was honoured with a retrospective of his work at the NGA in 2008, the exhibition revealing him continuing to be a leading Australian contemporary artist.
