Viola Richard (January 26, 1904 – December 28, 1973[citation needed] ) was an American actress.

Richard worked at the Hal Roach Studios, where she had a five-year contract,[1] opposite Laurel and Hardy, Charley Chase, and Max Davidson in the 1920s.

She left Roach in 1928, but returned in 1935 to play small roles[citation needed] in an Our Gang short and again with Laurel and Hardy in Tit for Tat.

[citation needed] She is not to be confused with Viola Agnes Richard (1901–1955) of 20th Century Fox Films' wardrobe department.
