Richard Clement (1754–1829) was an influential Barbados landowner of sugar plantations.
The Clement family (like the Alleyne family, Codrington family, Drax family, and Terrill family) were amongst the early European colonisers of Barbados.
Richard Clement served in the Napoleonic Wars in the Caribbean whilst he owned the estates Black Bess (197 slaves) and Clement Castle (231 slaves) (formerly Sober Castle, latterly Ellis Castle) in Saint Peter, Barbados.
His English residence was No. 13 Bolton Street, Mayfair, on the same street as his son-in-law Colonel Thomas Moody, ADC, Kt. who resided at No. 23.
He was buried at St George's, Hanover Square, London.
