Richard Hyrde or Hirt (died 1528) was an English humanist scholar, translator and tutor. He was closely associated with the household of Thomas More, and with the contemporary discussion of female education. R. W. Chambers states that he was a physician, connecting this vocation with the knowledge of Greek Hyrde advocates. In 1528 he was part of a diplomatic mission to Pope Clement VII, led by Stephen Gardiner and Edward Foxe (attached, Chambers says, as physician). He died in 1528 in Italy of an infectious disease.
