Richard Westmacott (1747–1808) was an English sculptor best known for his funerary monuments and church sculpture in the late Georgian period. Trained in London and later in Rome, he worked within a restrained classical idiom derived from antique models, adapted to the commemorative needs of British ecclesiastical and civic settings.

Westmacott established a successful London workshop producing monuments characterised by balanced compositions, classical drapery, and allegorical figures such as Faith, Hope, and Mourning. His work reflects the transition from Rococo softness toward a more disciplined neoclassicism, anticipating the sculptural language that would dominate British monument design in the early nineteenth century.

He was the father and first teacher of Richard Westmacott the Younger ⓘ, whose later career would eclipse his own in scale and public prominence.
