Richard Sweetman (born 28 July 1990 in Maitland, New South Wales) is an Australian speedway rider who rode for several British teams.[1]

Born in Maitland, the birthplace of motorcycle speedway (1926), Sweetman won the New South Wales Under-21 individual championship in 2007.[1] He has previously ridden for the Swindon Robins, Isle of Wight Islanders, Birmingham Brummies, Belle Vue Aces, and Coventry Bees.[2]
