Richard Sergeant (executed at Tyburn, 20 April 1586) was an English Roman Catholic priest.
He was probably a younger son of Thomas Sergeant of Stone, Gloucestershire, by Katherine, daughter of John Tyre of Hardwick.
He took his degree at the University of Oxford (20 February 1570–1), and arrived at the English College, Reims, on 25 July 1581.
Along with Richard Sergeant, he was condemned and executed William Thomson, a native of Blackburn, Lancashire, who was educated at local schools before going to the English College at Reims, on 28 May 1583.
[1] Both were executed on 20 April 1586 for being Catholic priests and coming into the realm in violation of the Jesuits, etc.
