Richard William Price (16 April 1869 – 22 June 1937) was an Australian journalist, politician, and army officer.
He moved to Forbes, New South Wales, a few years later, and filled a similar role for the Amalgamated Shearers' Union of Australasia.
Price came to Western Australia in 1896, during the gold rush, and subsequently founded branches of the Australian Workers' Union at Leonora and Mount Morgans.

He spent the rest of the war as a training officer and camp commandant, and was then involved in demobilisation, not being formally discharged until September 1920.
