Richard Bede McCosker (born 11 December 1946, Inverell, New South Wales) is a former New South Wales and Australian cricketer.

McCosker played in 25 Tests and 14 One Day Internationals in a career spanning 1975 to 1982 playing as a right hand batsman.

He is probably best remembered for playing in the 1977 Centenary Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after he had his jaw broken by a bouncer off Bob Willis in the 1st innings. In the second innings he batted at number ten in bandages with his jaw wired shut, making 25, and 54 for the ninth wicket in partnership with Rod Marsh. Australia won the match by 45 runs.

He also played in the World Series Cricket team, and was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1976.
