Richard Gravesend (died 1303) was a medieval Bishop of London.

Life

Gravesend held the prebend of Totenhall in the diocese of London.[1] He may have been Archdeacon of Essex and possibly Archdeacon of Northampton, but the identifications are not secure.[2]

Gravesend was elected about 7 May, confirmed 17 May and consecrated on 11 August 1280.[3] He was enthroned in London on 1 October 1280.[1]

Gravesend died on 9 December 1303.[3]
