Richard Widmark (26. december 1914 – 24. marts 2008) var en amerikansk skuespiller, der brød igennem med en Oscar-nomineret præstation som den ondskabsfuldt leende gangster i filmen Kiss of Death (1947), og siden har spillet hovedroller i en lang række film, samt i sin egen tv-serie, Madigan (1972).
Han huskes især som anklageren, der prøver at få fire nazibødler dømt i retssagsdramaet Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), og som den heroiske Jim Bowie, der sammen med Davy Crockett (John Wayne) holder stand mod den mexicanske hær, der har invaderet Texas i den stort opsatte westernfilm The Alamo (1960).
I hospitalsthrilleren Coma (1978) er han den skruppelløse overlæge Dr. Harris, og i djælvegyseren To the Devil a Daughter (1976), som blev Hammer-studiets største kommercielle succes, spiller han forfatteren John Verney, der frelser en ung nonne (Nastassja Kinski) fra Satan.
