Richard Casey (c.1881 – 16 April 1919) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Casey, who was noted for his small build and overly aggressive playing style, was recruited from Brunswick. A forward, he was South Melbourne's second leading goal-kicker in 1907, when he kicked a career high 23 goals. He appeared in two grand finals for South Melbourne; their 1907 and 1912 losses, but missed out on a spot in the 1909 premiership team through injury. Casey died young, in 1919, a victim of the influenza pandemic.
