Richard Ingrams (London, 19. 8. 1937. – ), britanski autor, biograf, novinar i urednik. Suosnivač je satiričkog časopisa Private Eye i utemeljitelj mjesečnika The Oldie.
Ingrams je rođen 1937. u Londonu kao sin Leonarda Ingramsa i Victorije Reid (unuka Sir Jamesa Reida), koji su imali još tri sina uključujući bankara i opernog organizatora Leonarda V. Ingramsa. Richard je pohađao osnovnu školu West Downs u Winchesteru i srednju školu Shrewsbury gdje je upoznao Willieja Rushtona i zajedno s njim uređivao školski časopis. Nakon što nije primljen u britansku vojnu službu, upisao se na University College Univerziteta u Oxfordu gdje je postao blizak prijatelj s Robinom Butlerom (budućim članom Doma lordova) i Paulom Footom (kasnijim istraživačkim novinarom i ljevičarskim radikalom) nakon čije će smrti napisati biografiju. Godine 1962. Ingrams se vjenčao s Mary Morgan i istovremeno zajedno s Rushtonom utemeljio satirički časopis Private Eye, utjecajno glasilo koje je bilo dio tzv. satiričkog booma u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu. Mjesto urednika napustio je 1986. (zamijenio ga je Ian Hislop), a 1992. osnovao je novi humoristični časopis The Oldie, mjesečnik namijenjen starijoj publici. Kasnije je pisao kolumne za The Observer i The Independent, i redovno pojavljivao se na kvizu The News Quiz. Njegov The Oldie bio je jedan od prvih britanskih časopisa koji je objavio kontroverze vezane uz Savileovo zlostavljanje djece. Nakon što je ušao u osobni sukob s Jamesom Pembrokeom, Ingrams je 2014. napustio The Oldie i posvetio se pisanju biografija.
