Richard Yeo RA (ca 1720–1779) was a British medalist and Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint,[1] in which capacity he supplied patterns for the guinea and five guinea coins of George III.

[2] He was a founding member of the Royal Academy of Art, and appears in the group portrait by John Zoffany.

[3] Yeo first came to public notice in 1746, when he produced the official medal for the battle of Culloden, In the same year he issued, by subscription, another Culloden medal, its reverse showing, the Duke of Cumberland as Hercules trampling upon Discord.

Before producing these medals Yeo had engraved a seal with the head of the Duke of Cumberland, drawn from life.

[5] His small collection of coins and medals was sold by auction in February 1780, along with his graving tools and colours for painting, which included what the catalogue called "a quantity of his very curious and much esteemed lake"[4] He also made two prize medals for Winchester College, and two of the metal admission tickets for Vauxhall Gardens are signed by him.
