Dr. David H. S. Richardson is a British and Canadian lichenologist noted for his studies on the effects of air pollution upon lichens.   David Richardson was a professor at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland before transferring to Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.   Until July 2006, David Richardson had served as Dean of Science at St. Mary's University for numerous years.

Professor Richardson usually teaches a week long seminar on lichen identification each summer at the Humboldt Field Research Institute at Eagle Hill along the coast of Maine.
