Richard Stakelum (born 1963 in Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary, Ireland) is an Irish hurling manager and former player. He is the current manager of the Dublin under-21 hurling team.
Stakelum enjoyed a successful playing career at club level with Borris-Ileigh and at inter-county level with Tipperary. He was a member of the latter team in the late 1980s and captained them to a first Munster title in sixteen years in 1987. Stakelum also captured All-Ireland, Munster and county honours at club level.
In retirement from playing Stakelum became involved in team management. At club level he brought the Kilmacud Crokes minor hurling team to championship victory in 2007. He has been a selector under the management of Anthony Daly on the Dublin senior hurling team since 2008. Stakelum was appointed manager of the Dublin under-21 hurling team in 2009.
Stakelum played club hurling with his local Borris-Ileigh club and enjoyed much success.
In 1983 the club qualified for the final of the county senior championship and Stakelum was a key member of the half-back line. Loughmore-Castleiney provided the opposition, however, victory went to Stakelum's side by 0-17 to 1-11. The club later represented Tipperary in the provincial series of games and even reached the final. Midleton were the opponents and claimed the Munster title, but not after Borris-Ileigh took them to a draw and a replay.
