Richard Edmeads (dates unknown) was an English professional cricketer who played in first-class cricket for Chertsey Cricket Club and Surrey during the 1760s. The brother of John Edmeads, he is recorded in the Richmond v. Chertsey match on Richmond Green in September 1765. He and his brother shared 108 runs in the match which Chertsey won by 106 runs.[1]
As Edmeads had established his reputation by 1765, he must have been active for some years previously and his career may have begun in the 1750s. He is not mentioned in 1770s reports although his brother continued to be a notable player in that decade. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports before the 1770s and there are no other references to Richard Edmeads.
