}}Robert Richardson (1850–1901) was an Australian poet and writer for children, possibly the first Australian-born children's writer.[1] He was born in New South Wales to John Richardson, a New South Wales politician and store-keeper, and his wife Janet, sister of Peter Nicol Russell.[2]

Richardson completed a B.A. at the University of Sydney and later became well known for his contributions to a number of Sydney and Australian periodicals and newspapers. He was also a member of the firm of Richardson and Company, an Armidale-based millers and general store-keepers, started by his father.[3]

He left Australia for a life in Edinburgh in 1886 before returning to Sydney around 1894. He died in Armidale in October 1901.[3]
