Richard Clement (10 June 1832 – 29 October 1873) was an English first-class cricketer and civil servant.

The son of Hampden Clement - an English sugar plantation owner in Barbados - and Philippa Cobham Alleyne, he was born in June 1832 at Snarestone, Leicestershire.[1] His paternal grandfather was Richard Clement, a Dutch owner of Barbadian sugar plantations.[1] He was the nephew of Martha Clement,[1] the wife of the plantation owner Colonel Thomas Moody, who named a son, Hampden Clement Blamire Moody, after his father, and through whom he was related to Major-General Richard Clement Moody, the founder of British Columbia.[2] Clement was educated at Rugby School,[3] before going up to University College, Oxford.[4] While studying at Oxford, Clement made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University, appearing against the Marylebone Cricket Club and Cambridge University in 1853.[5] After graduating from Oxford, Clement was employed as a clerk at the Treasury. He died accidentally while on a hunt on 29 October 1873 near Bicester.[3] His younger brother, Reynold, also played first-class cricket.
