Richard Praty (or Pratty, c. 1390 – August 1445) was a medieval university Chancellor and Bishop.

After serving as the King's chaplain from 1430, including two years with him in France, Praty was made Dean of the Chapel Royal in 1432.

He was also Chancellor of the University of Oxford during 1438–9.

Praty died in August 1445.
