Geoff Richards (born 30 April 1951) is a former rugby union player and coach. He coached England at the 2006 Women's Rugby World Cup.[1][2] He resigned as head coach in 2007.[3]

He played for Wasps in England before emigrating to Australia, where his club was Eastern Suburbs in Sydney.[4] Due to the injury toll faced by the Wallabies in their tour of New Zealand in 1978, Richards was selected to play, and eventually played three times for Australia.[5] In 2010, he resigned as coach for Richmond.[6][7]
