Richard Turner (15 August 1843 – 22 December 1917) was a Canadian merchant and legislative councilor.
Born in Quebec City, Quebec, the son of James Turner and Susans Frisell, Turner opened a wholesale grocery with a partner called Whitehead & Turner in 1870. In 1886, after Whitehead retired, Turner became the sole owner.
He was appointed to the Legislative Council of Quebec for the division of Golfe in 1897. A Liberal, he served until his death in 1917.
In 1867, he married Emily Maria Ellis. They had four sons and two daughters. One son, Richard Ernest William Turner, was a Canadian general and recipient of the Victoria Cross.
