Branscombe Richmond (born August 8, 1955) is an American character actor, stuntman, and lead singer in a band called "The Renegade Posse". He is sometimes credited in films as Richmond Branscombe, Ranscombe Richmon or Branscom Richmond.

Branscombe is well known for playing villains and thugs in a lot of movies, and has made a lot of guest appearances on TV shows. He has appeared as a Klingon in Star Trek III: The Search For Spock. Richmond is the National Spokesman for Indian Motorcycles.
Probably his most well known and prominent TV role was in the 1990's hit syndicated TV series Renegade as Bobby Sixkiller. He also appeared as Moki in the pilot film of Magnum PI. His many other television appearances include shows such as The A-Team and The Highwayman. He is also the subject of a song by Anal Cunt.
