Davy Richardson (born October 21, 1962) is an English darts player currently playing in British Darts Organisation events. He is nicknamed The Face.

Richardson was well renowned for having the worst record in the history of the World Professional Darts Championship, losing in the first round in his first five appearances. In 1993, he lost to Steve Beaton in the first round, he would return to Lakeside in 1999 where he lost to Co Stompé. He also recorded first round exits in 2001 to Jez Porter, 2002 against Wayne Mardle and 2005 against Martin Adams. He finally won at the Lakeside on his sixth attempt in 2007, beating ninth-seed Vincent van der Voort, despite going through the pain barrier having broken two ribs just days earlier after falling in his bedroom undressing himself, hitting his side on the edge of his bed. He eventually lost 4-3 in the second round to the number eight seed Ted Hankey. In 2008, his first round jinx returned, losing to in-form Darryl Fitton.

Apart from his World Championship record, Richardson has fared well in other tournaments which includes winning the 2003 Scottish Open, beating Mike Gregory in the final. He was also a quarter-finalist in the 2004 Winmau World Masters, beating Mike Veitch and Tony West before bowing out to Tony O'Shea.

Richardson captured the 2008 BDO International Open on June 15, 2008 beating Ross Montgomery in the final.
