Richard Wallie Boston is an American musician, composer and producer based in Los Angeles. He is known for his roles in Low Pop Suicide and for producing Rickie Lee Jones' album, Ghostyhead.

Richard Wallie Boston was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He studied jazz arrangement and composition.

Boston played guitar for Belinda Carlisle's 1988 album, Heaven on Earth. He composed "You Know We're Gonna Hurt" for Joe Cocker's 1989 album, One Night of Sin. Boston was a member of Hand of Fate (band), working with John Keck to produce the 1990 album, Hand of Fate, and is credited for vocals.

He composed eight of the songs on Lowen & Navarro's 1991 album, Walking on a Wire, and another for their 1993 album, Broken Moon. Boston played guitar for and produced Sky Cries Mary's 1991 EP, Exit at the Axis.

Boston subsequently worked extensively with Dave Allen as the frontman of Low Pop Suicide, making a series of releases on World Domination Recordings. He was the band's frontman, singing and playing lead guitar, on their 1993 debut album On the Cross of Commerce, but both Allen and Jeff Ward exited the band. As the only founder left, their second LP, The Death of Excellence, was a more personal vehicle. As a side project with Allen as the Crash Baptists, Boston recorded the soundtrack to the 1993 thriller The Harvest.
