Ivor Armstrong Richards was een invloedrijke Engelse literatuurcriticus en retoricus die een fundamentele figuur werd in de moderne literatuurkritiek. Zijn werken, met name die gericht op betekenis, literatuurkritiek en retoriek, legden de basis voor de New Criticism en introduceerden het concept van 'praktische kritiek'. Deze benadering leidde tot de ontwikkeling van nauwkeurige leesmethoden, die worden beschouwd als het begin van de hedendaagse Engelse literatuurstudies. Richards wordt algemeen erkend als een van de grondleggers van de moderne literatuurwetenschap.
