Francis Henry Arthur Richmond (6 January 1936 – 16 March 2017) was the third Bishop of Repton from 1985 to 1999; and from then on, in retirement, an honorary assistant bishop within the Diocese of Oxford.

Richmond was educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[1] Ordained in 1964, he began his career with a curacy at Woodlands, in Yorkshire.[2] after which he was: a chaplain at Sheffield Cathedral; Vicar of St George's, Sheffield[3] (during which time he was also a University Chaplain [4]); and finally, before his elevation to the episcopate,[5] Warden of Lincoln Theological College. He was ordained and consecrated a bishop (thereby taking up his suffragan See) on 30 January 1986, by Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Southwark Cathedral.[6] After 14 years as the Derby Suffragan he retired to Oxford in 1999.

He died on 16 March 2017 at the age of 81.[7]
