Richard "Rickie" Lambert (born 16 February 1982 in Fazakerley, Merseyside) is an English football player who currently plays for Bristol Rovers. He signed for Bristol Rovers from Rochdale on transfer-deadline day, August 31, 2006, for £200,000 on a three-year contract until 2009. Lambert currently plays as striker, but can also play as an attacking midfielder.

Lambert's career started at Blackpool, although he made little impact for the Seasiders, only making three substitute appearances. He then moved to Macclesfield Town on a free transfer. He made 44 league appearances there netting eight goals.

In June 2002, he was sold for a record fee of £300,000 to Stockport County. He made 98 appearances for County and scored 18 times. After falling out of the manager's plans, Lambert then moved to Rochdale on a free transfer.

Lambert made 64 appearances for the Dale scoring 28 goals before moving to Bristol Rovers in 2006.
