Richard I of Normandy (933–996), also known as Richard the Fearless (French, Sans Peur), is the ruler of Normandy from 942 to 996.

Dudo of Saint-Quentin, whom Richard commissions to write his De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum (Latin, On the Customs and Deeds of the First Dukes of Normandy), calls him a dux, but this use of the word may have been in the context of Richard's leadership in war, and not a reference to a title of nobility.

Richard either introduces feudalism into Normandy, or he greatly expands it.

By the end of his reign, most important landholders hold their lands in feudal tenure.
