Ricky Otto (born 9 November 1967 in the London Borough of Hackney) is a former footballer.

He began his career at non-league Haringey Borough F.C., where his performances in midfield caught the eye of Leyton Orient. They signed him in 1990. His subsequent performances there alerted Southend United manager Barry Fry, who paid £100,000 to bring him to Roots Hall in 1993.

Otto followed Fry to Birmingham City for £800,000 in 1994 but never really settled at the club, having spells on loan at Charlton Athletic, Peterborough United and Notts County. Released in 1998 he had a spell without a club before signing for Rhyl in 2001.

He is a cult hero to some supporters, who remember him for his sporadic moments of erratic genius which punctuated often lacklustre play.
