Richard Ortiz Busto[1] (Spanish: [ˈritʃaɾð ˈoɾtis]; born 22 May 1990), is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Olimpia and the Paraguay national team.

Among the teams were Mexican side Deportivo Toluca where his former coach and Paraguayan international José Saturnino Cardozo requested his services.

Ortiz would be the fourth Paraguayan in the squad joining then compatriots, Paulo da Silva, Edgar Benítez, and Pablo Velázquez.

On 13 July, Club Libertad agreed to sign Ortiz from Deportivo Toluca on loan in a 6-month period, after he refused playing for Dorados de Sinaloa.

On 11 October 2011 he made his debut for the Paraguay national football team and also scored his first goal for his country in a 2014 World Cup qualifier match against Uruguay.
