Richard Thompson (born 3 April 1949) is an English songwriter, musician (primarily a guitarist), singer and record producer.

Thompson first gained prominence in the late 1960s as the lead guitarist and a songwriter for the folk rock group Fairport Convention, which he co-founded in 1967. After departing the group in 1971, Thompson released his debut solo album, Henry the Human Fly, in 1972.
