Ricky Dyson, (born 28 September 1985) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for Essendon in the AFL.

Drafted late at number 44 in the 2003 AFL Draft, Dyson has proved somewhat a revelation for the Bombers and his progress has been steady since debut. A sharp left footer, he has shown poise as a player of some balance when in possession of the ball as a good decision maker.

Despite being hampered by minor injuries in his first two seasons, his progress both physically and on the field has been very encouraging.
