C. Richard Kramlich (April 27, 1935 – February 1, 2025), born Charles Richard Kramlich, also known as Dick Kramlich, was an American venture capitalist.

His father was Irving Kramlich, a grocer who went on to open 25 food stores; the chain was purchased in 1955 by Kroger. His mother Dorothy (Earl) Kramlich was an aeronautical engineer. He was one of the earliest investors in Apple Computer.

Kramlich and his wife Pamela were among the first private collectors of new media such as video art and projected image installations, starting in the late 1980s.

The Kramlich Collection has grown to 200+ works of film, video, slide, and installation, and "250 significant works of photography, sculpture, painting, and drawing by more than 230 artists from around the world".
