Richard Lewis Brewer Jr. (May 27, 1864 – April 5, 1947) was a Virginia politician. He represented Nansemond County in the Virginia House of Delegates, and served as that body's Speaker from 1920 until 1926.
In 1924 Brewer's nomination was seconded by Sarah Lee Fain, one of the first two female members of the Virginia House of Delegates; upon her recognition from the floor she received over a minute's worth of cheers and applause.[1]
