Richard Upjohn (22 January 1802 – 16 August 1878) was a British-American architect who emigrated to the United States and became most famous for his Gothic Revival churches.
His son, Richard Michell Upjohn, (1828-1903), was also a well-known architect and served as a partner in his continued architectural firm in New York.
They initially settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts and then moved on to Boston in 1833, where he worked in architectural design.
He had relocated to New York City by 1839, where he worked on alterations to the famed Trinity Church on Wall Street in Lower Manhattan.
He served as president of that organization from 1857 to 1876, being succeeded by Thomas Ustick Walter, fourth Architect of the Capitol.
