Henry Richard 'Dick' Head was an Australian rules footballer who played with West Adelaide in the SAFL.

Head made his league debut in 1906 as a teenager and in 1909 became just the second ever West Adelaide player to win a Magarey Medal. He was appointed club captain in 1913 and also captained the South Australia interstate side that year. Head was chosen to represent South Australia more often than not during his career, playing 37 games in total for his state. In 1921 he crossed to Sturt but managed just four games before announcing his retirement. He returned to the league however the following season as non-playing coach at Glenelg and with the side struggling he took the field for seven games that year to finish with a total of 154 SAFL games.
