Richard Houston (30 June 1863 – 27 November 1921) was an Australian cricketer. He played 23 first-class cricket matches for Victoria between 1885 and 1898. Dick Houston was a right-handed batsman who also sometimes bowled and kept wicket. He was an early exponent of the switch hit, changing suddenly from right-handed to left-handed in order to play the ball more effectively. His highest first-class score was 72, when he captained Victoria to victory over Tasmania in 1893-94. In the 1880s he won the batting average for North Melbourne five seasons in a row, including two seasons when he also won the bowling average. He set a record for the Williamstown Cricket Club in 1902-03 when he scored 213 not out against Brighton.
