'''Richard Robarts''' (born 22 September 1944)<ref name="WATN">{{cite web |url=http://www.oldracingcars.com/driver/Richard_Robarts |title= The World Championship drivers – Where are they now? |accessdate=2007-07-29 |last=Jenkins |first=Richard |publisher=OldRacingCars.com}}</ref> is a British former [[racing driver]] from England. He participated in 4 [[Formula One]] World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 13 January 1974. He scored no championship points.

Robarts began his career in Formula Ford, competing from 1969 to 1972.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite book|title=The Guinness Complete Grand Prix Who's Who|author=Steve Small|page=320|isbn=0851127029}}</ref> In 1973 he drove a [[Group Racing Developments|GRD]] in [[Formula Three]] and shared the [[British Formula 3 Championship|Lombard North Central, British Formula 3]] championship with [[Tony Brise]].<ref name ="ReferenceA"/>

After paying for an F1 drive with [[Brabham]] in 1974, Robarts lost it after three races to the better-funded [[Rikky von Opel]].  He later found a seat with [[Frank Williams Racing Cars|Williams]], but before Robarts could start a race, the team gave the opportunity to [[Tom Belsø]] instead.  Robarts later raced in [[Formula 2]] before moving on to other series.
