George Richardson (1737 or 1738 – c.1813) was a Scottish architectural and decorative draftsman and writer on architecture. Although the dates of his birth and death are not known for certain, he was a contemporary and rival of the Adam brothers. Among his few remaining architectural works are two churches built for the Earl of Harborough: Holy Trinity Church, Teigh in Rutland and St Mary Magdalene's Church, Stapleford in Leicestershire. His main output, however, was in the form of books. His publications were subscribed to not only by many leading architects of the day, but also by painters, sculptors and other craftsmen.
