Richard West (8 April 1916 – 18 June 1983) was an English first-class cricketer.

West was born in April 1916 at Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. He was educated at Rugby School, before going up to Brasenose College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1936 and 1937, making eight appearances.[2] Playing as a right-arm fast-medium bowler, he took 28 wickets at an average of 24.60. He took one five wicket haul,[3] with figures of 5 for 74 against the British Army cricket team in 1937.[4] A tailend batsman, he scored 43 runs with a high score of 18.[5] In addition to playing first-class cricket for Oxford, West trialled for Surrey in 1935, but was unable to secure a place in their first team.
