Richard Clements (1928-) was editor of the left-wing weekly Tribune from 1960 to 1982.

Educated at the London School of Economics, Clements worked briefly for the Daily Herald before joining Tribune as a reporter. After leaving Tribune, he became office manager for Michael Foot, the leader of the Labour Party, continuing in a similar role under Neil Kinnock. In 1999, he was named by the Sunday Times as a Soviet spy – an allegation he denied, pointing to the large number of anti-Soviet articles published by Tribune under his editorship.
