Richard Housley (8 May 1849 – 23 April 1881) was an English cricketer. Housley was a right-handed batsman. He was born at Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire.
Housley made a single first-class appearance for Nottinghamshire against Yorkshire at Trent Bridge in 1870.[1] Yorkshire won the toss and elected to bat first, making 108 all out. In response, Nottinghamshire made just 56 all out, with Housley being dismissed by George Freeman for 2 runs. In their second-innings, Yorkshire were dismissed for 122, leaving Nottinghamshire with a target of 175 for victory. Nottinghamshire fell narrowly short of reaching that target, being dismissed for 172 to lose by 2 runs. During their chase, Housley was run out for a single run.[2] This was his only major appearance for the county.
He later stood as an umpire in two first-class matches at Bramall Lane in 1877, with Yorkshire playing Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.[3] He died at the village of his birth on 23 April 1881.
