Richard Vaughan (c.1550 – 30 March 1607) was a Welsh bishop of the Church of England.

He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated BA in 1574, MA in 1577, and DD in 1589.

[5] Vaughan assisted William Morgan in his translation of the Bible into Welsh, published in 1588.

[11] He licensed in 1606 the translation of the work Institutiones Theologicae of the Reformed theologian Guillaume Du Buc (Gulielmus Bucanus) of Lausanne, carried out by Robert Hill.

[12][13] As Bishop of London he was generally sympathetic to moderate Puritan clergy; but he did take action in suspending Stephen Egerton.
