Richard Thompson Buckler (October 27, 1865 – January 23, 1950) was a Representative from Minnesota. He was born on a farm near Oakland, Coles County, Illinois. He attended the public schools and engaged in agricultural pursuits in Coles County before moving to Andover Township, Polk County, Minnesota in 1904 where he continued agricultural pursuits.

He was active in Farm Bureau and Farmers’ Union organizations and held numerous township and local school district offices, serving in the Minnesota Senate 1915-1919, 1923-1927, and 1931-1933.
