Richard Dobson (born March 191942) is an American singer/songwriter.

He was born in Tyler, Texas. He spent time in the 1970s with Townes Van Zandt, Mickey White, Rex "Wrecks" Bell, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell and "Skinny" Dennis Sanchez.

Although his name is not prominent, his songs were recorded and/or co-written, by famous artists like David Allan Coe ("Piece of Wood and Steel"), Guy Clark ("Forever, for Always, for Certain"; "Old Friends"), Lacy J. Dalton ("Old Friends"), Nanci Griffith ("Ballad of Robin Winter-Smith") and Kelly Willis ("Hole in My Heart"). His song "Baby Ride Easy" was recorded as a duet by Carlene Carter and Dave Edmunds as well as by Billie Jo Spears and Del Reeves. It has also been recorded by the Carter Family. For the tv show "Christmas On The Road" in Montreux in 1984 it was performed by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.He wrote an autobiographic book about his years with Townes Van Zandt and the others mentioned above, called "The Gulf Coast Boys". Currently he is working on a new book. He's also regularly writing a blog on [http://www.sharkforum.org/richard-dobson/index.html Sharkforum] .

From 2000 to 2005 he was living in Switzerland perennially, but returned to Texas in November 2005 to record an album in Nashville with Thomm Jutz, a friend and musician he played and recorded with in Europe. The album, titled "On Thistledown Wind", was released in 2006. "Back at the Red Shack" was recorded at the same studio in Houston, Texas where his first two albums were recorded.
