Richard Allan Caring (born June 1948) is a British businessman, who is active in fashion, and latterly property and restaurants.

Having supplied Hong Kong-manufactured fashion, after surviving the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, he diversified his business interest into restaurants and nightclubs. Caring was ranked number 137 on the 2015 Sunday Times Rich List.
