Richard F. Weymouth (1822-1902) was an English Baptist linguist and New Testament scholar. He was educated at University College, London, taught in Surrey, and later founded a school for boys in Plymouth. In 1869 he was appointed headmaster of a school for boys at Mill Hill, London, where he taught until 1886.
