Richard B Wyatt (birth and death details unknown) was a noted amateur cricketer in the late 18th century. His career spanned the 1789 to 1797 seasons, during which he played 18 major cricket matches, mainly for Essex.
Wyatt may have been the younger brother of J Wyatt, who played for Essex from 1785 to 1787.
Wyatt was primarily a batsman who scored a total of 288 runs in 33 innings with a highest score of 39. He was an occasional bowler (style and pace unknown) and is credited with 5 wickets. He made 21 catches, which suggests he was a good fielder in one of the close positions.
