D. Aaron Riches (born 1974) is a Canadian theologian at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. He was previously a theologian for the Seminario Mayor San Cecilio in Granada, Spain, and joint faculty member of the International Academy of Philosophy-Instituto de Filosofía "Edith Stein" and the Instituto de Teología "Lumen Gentium". He is widely published in the fields of systematic theology and Christology.[3] His recent book, Ecce Homo: On the Divine Unity of Christ, questions the tendency to distinguish between the human and divine natures of Christ to such a degree as to oppose them.[4]

Prior to his academic career, Riches was a Canadian singer-songwriter.[5] He was in the bands , Curtsy, , and . Afterwards, he released two solo albums and toured with the Royal City All-Stars, which eventually became the band Royal City, which has also since disbanded.[6]

Riches is originally from Guelph, Ontario, and is the subject of the Robert Munsch children's book Aaron's Hair.[7]
