Arthur John Richardson (born July 24, 1888, Clare, South Australia; died December 23, 1973, Semaphore, South Australia) was an Australian Test cricketer who played nine Tests for Australia.
Richardson was one of the few Australians to play with spectacles. In October 1927 Richardson was appointed by the Western Australian Cricket Association as state coach for a two year contract.[1] In 1935, Richardson served as an umpire in two Tests in the West Indies.
Arthur Richardson is unrelated to Victor Richardson, his former Australian and South Australian team-mate.
