Richard Swinefield (or Richard de Swinfield; died 15 March 1317) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford. He earned a doctor of divinity degree as well as holding a number of ecclesiastical offices, including Archdeacon of London, before being named bishop. While bishop, he worked to secure the canonization of Thomas de Cantilupe, his predecessor, whom he had worked for previously. Although he was active in his diocese, he spent little time in politics. He died in 1317, and was buried in Hereford Cathedral where a memorial to his memory still stands.
