Clifton Russell "Clif" Richardson (May 30, 1944 – March 6, 2020) was an American politician.
He was elected as a Republican to represent Louisiana's 65th house district in East Baton Rouge Parish in 2007 and was re-elected in 2011. An aide lodged a sexual harassment allegation against him for what Richardson characterized as a joke of a sexual nature. The state of Louisiana paid out $50,000 to settle the claim in May 2012.

He served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, and Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards ordered flags to fly at half-staff following Richardson's death.
