Richard Henry Weik (November 17, 1927 – April 21, 1991) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher. A 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m), 184 lb (83 kg) right-hander, he played for the Washington Senators (1948–1950), Cleveland Indians (1950), and Detroit Tigers (1953–1954).

Weik was hindered by problems with control. He issued 237 bases on balls in 213⅔ innings pitched and surrendered 203 hits during his Major League career for a WHIP of 2.059. He appeared in 76 games played, 26 as a starting pitcher.
