Richard Alan Brooks (born 14 June 1943), known as Dickie Brooks is an English former cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Somerset.
Brooks was educated at Quintin School in St John's Wood and St Edmund Hall, Oxford. A lower-order right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper, he won a Blue for cricket in 1967, and was then offered a contract with Somerset, the county having just parted company with its regular wicketkeeper Geoff Clayton.
