Richard Darío Núñez Pereyra (born 16 February 1976 in Montevideo) is a retired Uruguayan footballer.

He has played in Mexico since 13 August 2005, when he joined Cruz Azul, scoring 4 goals against Tecos UAG in his debut match.

[citation needed] On 3 January 2008 he has been transferred to Cruz Azul's Rival Club América for US$1,250,000 in 2-year contract worth $700,000 annually.

[4] Nuñez was to stay at Club América as a punishment but without playing any tournament or filial teams for not accepting to go to Puebla.

In response, Nuez sued the club for August's unpaid salary and to have the contract resolved after the club reportedly forbade him from working out with the team over the phone.. On 5 February 2010, FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber returned the case to Mexican Football Federation.
