Richard Lynn Hardcastle, known as Rick Hardcastle (born April 6, 1956), is a businessman and rancher from Vernon, Texas, who is a Republican former member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 68 in the eastern South Plains.
In Hardcastle's last term, the district included sixteen counties: Baylor Clay, Cooke, Cottle, Dickens, Foard, Hardeman, Haskell, Jack, King, Knox, Montague, Motley, Thorckmorton, Wilbarger, and Young counties. However, in 2013, because of redistricting District 68 was expanded to twenty-two counties with several changes from the above listing. It is now represented by Republican Drew Springer, Jr., of Muenster, Texas.
