The Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics is an endowed professorial position in the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, England. The chair was founded by an endowment of £3,600 from one John Richardson, in 1890. The endowment was originally used to support the Richardson Lectureship in Mathematics. One holder of the Richardson Lectureship was John Edensor Littlewood (1907-1910). The current holder (since 1998) is Nicholas Higham.


The School of Mathematics has three endowed chairs, the others being the Beyer Chair and the Fielden Chair of Pure Mathematics.
