Richard Theodore Ely was een Amerikaanse econoom en auteur die pleitte voor meer overheidsinterventie om de waargenomen onrechtvaardigheden van het kapitalisme aan te pakken. Zijn pleidooi richtte zich op het verbeteren van de omstandigheden in fabrieken, het bevorderen van verplicht onderwijs en het aanpakken van kwesties rond kinderarbeid en vakbonden. Ely wordt vooral herinnerd als een stichtend figuur en de eerste secretaris van de American Economic Association. Hij schreef ook invloedrijke werken die de georganiseerde arbeidersbeweging en het socialisme onderzochten.
