Richard Willis Jameson (12 July 1851 – 21 February 1899)[1] was a Canadian politician who served as an alderman and 15th Mayor of Winnipeg, and as a Member of the House of Commons of Canada.

[3] He moved to Canada in 1876, first practicing law in Toronto, and received his admission to the bar in Ontario the following year.

He moved to Winnipeg in 1881 to conduct land speculation at a time when that city's economy enjoyed considerable growth.

[1] After the federal election results for the Winnipeg riding were annulled in March 1897, Jameson entered a by-election as a Liberal candidate.

However, Jameson died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on 21 February 1899 shortly after presenting a speech to the Winnipeg Board of Trade.
