Richard Johnson (born 21 July 1977) is a retired English National Hunt jockey. He was Champion Jockey on four occasions and runner-up 17 times. With over 3,500 winners, Johnson is the second most prolific winner in the history of National Hunt Racing behind Sir Anthony McCoy. He holds the record for the most appearances in the Grand National and also for the most rides in the race without a victory. Johnson twice won the Cheltenham Gold Cup, on Looks Like Trouble in 2000 and Native River in 2018, and the Champion Hurdle on Rooster Booster in 2003.
