Richard Loveridge (born 15 January 1963) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.

Playing as a rover who was handy near goals, Loveridge was a regular member of the Hawthorn side and was a premiership player in 1983 and 1986. The 1986 VFL season was Loveridge's best; he kicked a career-high 26 goals and finished tenth in the Brownlow Medal count. At the end of the 1989 VFL season, he announced his retirement from football.

Loveridge is a lawyer, having studied at the University of Melbourne. He is a partner of Herbert Smith Freehills,[1] and has served as a member of the AFL Tribunal for more than ten years.[2][3]
