Richard Hygons (c. 1435 – c. 1509) was an English composer of the early Renaissance. While only two compositions of this late 15th century composer have survived, one of them, a five-voice setting of the Salve Regina Marian antiphon, has attracted interest from musicologists because of its close relationship to music being written at the same time on the continent, as well as its high level of workmanship. Hygons seems to have spent his entire career at Wells Cathedral; at any rate, no records survive indicating his activities elsewhere.
