Richie Supa is an American songwriter best known for his work with Aerosmith and Richie Sambora. He was born Richard Goodman in Massapequa, New York and grew up in the same neighborhood as Jerry Seinfeld. He played guitar in the band "Denny Belline and the Rich Kids" (DB is Perry Como's nephew) and later in a band called "Mann".

A longtime friend of Aerosmith, he has made a number of musical contributions to the band and has offered moral support. He temporarily replaced Joe Perry when he left the band in 1979 until the band was able to find a replacement. Additionally, he helped co-write several songs, including the hits "Chip Away the Stone" (1978), "Amazing" (1993), and "Pink" (1997), among others.

In 1997, he co-wrote most of the songs on Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora's second solo album Undiscovered Soul.

He wrote the song "Misery" for the album M!ssundaztood by Pink, on which Aerosmith's singer Steve Tyler and Richie Sambora collaborated.
