Richard Arkwright Snelling (February 18, 1927 - August 13, 1991) was the 76th and 78th Governor of Vermont from 1977 to 1985 and from January 10, 1991 until his death from heart failure.

He was the son of Walter O. Snelling.

A member of the Republican Party, he served in the Vermont House of Representatives for six terms.

He was first elected governor in 1976 and was later re-elected to three additional consecutive terms - in 1978, 1980, and 1982 - but left office in January 1985, choosing not to run in 1984. He ran for the U.S. Senate in 1986 but lost to incumbent Patrick Leahy in a landslide.

In 1990 Snelling was once again elected governor, becoming the first Vermont governor to win five mandates. He died of a heart attack seven months after his final inauguration. Lieutenant Governor Howard Dean, a Democrat, was sworn in as governor.

The Government at the University of Vermont was named in his honor.
