Richard James Witter (born 23 November 1972) is a singer/songwriter in the York-based band Shed Seven.

Rick Witter formed his first band with schoolfriend Paul Banks in 1986, while still in his teens, and played in various local bands, including Brockley Haven, with Banks, Tom Gladwin and John Leach.

In 1990, Witter, along with Gladwin, John's brother, drummer Alan Leach and guitarist Joe Johnson, formed Shed Seven.

Just prior to signing their six-album deal with Polydor Records, Banks joined the line-up as their new lead guitarist, replacing the departing Joe Johnson.

Witter is also a DJ and regularly hosts nights throughout the United Kingdom, playing vintage indie classics.
