Clovis-Thomas Richard (May 8, 1892 - August 22, 1976) was a Canadian lawyer and political figure in the Province of New Brunswick. He was born in College Bridge, New Brunswick and was educated at University of St. Joseph's College, earning a BA degree before attending Dalhousie University where he graduated in 1918 with a Bachelor of Laws degree.
Richard was a member of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during World War I. After the war, he practised law; then, in a 1926 by-election to replace Peter Veniot who had been elected to the Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa, Clovis Richard won election to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick as the Liberal party candidate for the riding of Gloucester County. He was reelected in 1930, 1935, 1939, and 44.
Clovis Richard served as the Provincial Secretary-Treasurer from July 16, 1935 to January 10, 1940. He left provincial politics in 1945 to successfully run for a seat in the Canadian House of Commons as the Liberal Party of Canada candidate in the riding of Acadie—Bathurst. Reelected in the 1949 Federal election, he served in Ottawa until retiring from politics in 1952.
