Richard of Barking (died 1246) was an English Benedictine, the Abbot of Westminster, and a leading judge.
He was for some years prior of the Abbey of Westminster, and on 14 October 1222 was elected abbot in succession to Humeto or Humez, receiving the benediction from Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester.
He became a privy councillor, and a baron of the exchequer next in rank to William de Shareshull.
According to William Dugdale and John Weever, he was chief baron; but it is doubtful whether such an office existed at the time.
He died 23 November 1246, having increased the revenues of his abbey by the addition of the churches of Ocham, Aschewell, and Strengesham, the manor of Thorpe, the castle of Morton Folet, the village of New Morton, Gloucestershire, and one half the manors of Longdon, Worcestershire and Chadesley, in Worcestershire.
