Richard (Rick) Limoges (born January 1, 1956 in Windsor, Ontario) is a former Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Windsor—St. Clair in the Canadian House of Commons from 1999 to 2000.

Limoges was elected as a councillor for Ward 5 of the City of Windsor in 1985 at the age of 29, at that time the youngest person to have been elected to the municipal council. He frequently co-campaigned with fellow Ward 5 councillor Tom Wilson as "The Team that Works", and was notable for having been one of the first area candidates to use his photo on his campaign signs, featuring his trademark moustache.

Following the death of Windsor—St. Clair MP Shaughnessy Cohen on December 9, 1998, Limoges resigned from the city council to stand as the Liberal Party candidate in the resulting by-election, which was held on April 12, 1999. Limoges won by a margin of just 91 votes over New Democratic Party candidate Joe Comartin.

Limoges was succeeded on Windsor City Council by Eddie Francis, who would later become Windsor's mayor. Just 25 years old at the time of the municipal by-election, Francis also beat Limoges' record as the youngest person ever elected to the city council.

In the 2000 federal election, however, Comartin defeated Limoges for the seat by a margin of 401 votes. Limoges ran again in the 2004 election, and was defeated by a wider margin of 3818 votes.
