The Richlands is an historical novel by the American writer Agnes Sligh Turnbull (1888–1982) set in a rural village in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, thirty miles east of Pittsburgh.

At the turn of the 20th century in Western Pennsylvania, Jim Ryall decides to farm the Richlands instead of going to law school. There are two women in Jim's life: his pretty bride Peggy and gentle Phoebe, who takes care of his two children after Peggy's death.
