Richard Ashworth (16 April 1869–25 December 1928) was an English headmaster, known for his role as the headmaster of The Latymer School when that school underwent major change on moving to new buildings on Haselbury Road in Edmonton, London, from 1910 to 1928. Beginning his career as a teacher in Tottenham, he led several schools, including the successful Tottenham Pupil Teachers' Centre, before overseeing the growth of Latymer from a small institution into a major secondary school. Ashworth was also a prominent figure in local civic life, known for his activism in the Liberal Party and his public lectures on social reform.
