Geoff Richardson (26 August 1924 – 20 August 2007) was a British racing driver. Although he never entered a World Championship Formula One event, he took part in the 1948 British Grand Prix,{{cite web|url=http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/archive/f1/nc/1948/1948.html#gb |title=1948 British Grand Prix |accessdate=15 July 2012 |publisher=Silhouet Motorsport Archive}} participated in many non-championship Formula One and Formula Libre events from the 1940s to the 1960s, and enjoyed a varied motorsport career over several decades. He often raced self-built cars, many under the name of Richardson Racing Automobiles (RRA), among them a modified pre-war Riley,{{cite web|url=http://www.oldracingcars.com/results/result.php?RaceID=LI5205 |title=1952 Ulster Trophy |accessdate=15 July 2012 |publisher=Oldracingcars.com}} and sports cars based on Aston Martins.{{cite web|url=http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/18216/lot/343/ |title=Aston Martin Special Sporting Two-Seater |accessdate=15 July 2012 |publisher=Bonhams}} In 1953 he agreed to run a prototype Zethrin Rennsport in European events with the Belgian Jacques Swaters, but this project never got past a road-going prototype.

Richardson also took part in the Targa Florio in 1955, and the Intercontinental Formula that was devised as a rival to the new official 1.5-litre Formula One series in 1961.{{cite web|url=http://www.atlasf1.com/2000/spn/mirror.html |title=1961 Finally Dawns |accessdate=15 July 2012 |publisher=Atlas F1: Rear View Mirror}}
