RI9-5171 is a box office telephone number used at the Olympic Auditorium in Downtown Los Angeles. The phone number was attached to a section of the historic boxing and wrestling arena between the first and second levels on the north side of the building, and was widely promoted through boxing, wrestling and roller-derby events in newspaper and local magazine publications throughout Southern California.

The telephone number is still in existence, although it has been modernized to today's standards, now known as (213) 749-5171. The RI in the phone number was identified in the early days as "Richmond", using the letters RI (74).

A similar telephone number was also used at the Dallas Sportatorium for many years, but would eventually be changed by the late-1970s.
