Richard Hincks (30 March 1871 – date of death 1928) was an English cricketer. Hincks' batting and bowling style is unknown. He was born at Leicester, Leicestershire.

Hincks made two first-class appearances for Leicestershire in the 1895 County Championship, against Derbyshire and Lancashire, with both matches played at Grace Road, Leicester.[1] In his first match, Leicestershire on the toss and elected to field first. Derbyshire were then dismissed in their first-innings for 211, during which Hincks bowled six overs which cost 26 runs, and took the wicket of Walter Sugg. Responding in their first-innings, Leicestershire made 171 all out, with Hincks dismissed for a duck by George Walker. Derbyshire then made 275 all out in their second-innings, with Hincks dismissing George Porter, who was the last man out. This left Leicestershire with a target of 316 for victory. However, they were dismissed for just 188 in their second-innings chase, with Hincks himself dismissed for 14 runs by Sugg.[2] In his second match, Lancashire won the toss and elected to bat first, making 250 all out. In response, Leicestershire were dismissed in their first-innings for just 82, with Hincks contributing a single run to the total, before being dismissed by Johnny Briggs. Leicestershire were forced to follow-on and fared little better, this time making just 68 all out, with Hincks dismissed for a duck by Briggs. Lancashire won by an innings and 100 runs.[3]
