Richard Tobin (3 January 1896 – 21 January 1957) was an Irish hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team from 1916 until 1925.[1]

Tobin made his first appearance for the team during the 1916 championship and became a regular player over the next decade.[citation needed] During that time he won one All-Ireland winner's medals and four Leinster winner's medals. He was later joined on the team by his brother Jimmy Tobin.[citation needed]

At club level Tobin played with the Emeralds club in Urlingford, however, he never won a county club championship|.[2]
