Richard 'Dick' Harris was an Australian rules footballer who played in the VFL between 1934 and 1944 for the Richmond Football Club. He also represented Victoria at interstate football, playing a total of nine games for his state including the 1937 Perth carnival.

Harris played mainly as a rover and was highly successful in front of goals, kicking 51 goals in his debut season. He topped Richmond's goalkicking on three occasions and his career best 64 goals in the 1937 home and away season was the most in the VFL that year. A premiership player in 1934, Harris was a member of another Richmond premiership team in 1943 when he kicked seven goals in their five point Grand Final win against Essendon.

At the end of the 1944 season he left the league and joined VFA club Williamstown, helping them to the 1945 premiership.
