Richard Henry Raphael (29 August 1872 – 23 January 1910) was an English first-class cricketer.

Raphael was born at Steyning in August 1872. He was educated at Wellington College, before going up to Magdalen College, Oxford.[1] After graduating from Oxford, he entered the family merchant bank.[1] He toured British India with the Oxford University Authentics in 1902–03, making three first-class appearances on the tour against Bombay, the Parsees and the Gentlemen of India.[2] He scored 642 runs on the tour,[3] 202 of which came in first-class matches.[4] His highest first-class score on the tour of 111 came against the Parsees.[5] He played a single first-class match in 1904 for G. J. V. Weigall's XI against Cambridge University at Fenner's.[2] He was elected as a manager at the London Stock Exchange in January 1910, one of the youngest people elected to the position. He died suddenly a week later at Westminster.[1] His cousin, John Raphael, also played first-class cricket.[3]
