Richard David Stemp (born 11 December 1967[1]) is an English former first-class cricketer, who appeared for county sides—Worcestershire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire—in a first-class career which spanned from 1990 to 2002.[2]

Stemp was a slow left arm bowler, and was a member of the England squad picked to play New Zealand in 1994, but was left out of the final eleven.

Stemp was called up for the England A Tour of India and Bangladesh that winter and took 6-83 in the 1st unnoffical 'Test', including a young Rahul Dravid among his wickets.[3] In his review of the tour, Simon Hughes said Stemp was a "Test class spinner, good athlete but needs careful handling", suggesting "the more phlegmatic" Min Patel might be easier for then England captain Michael Atherton to handle.[4] Although Stemp took more wickets than the two other spinners on the tour, it was Patel and Ian Salisbury who would have the Test careers. Stemp did join another England A tour to Pakistan the following winter, taking 5-64 in another victory in an unofficial 'Test'.[5]

He has played club cricket for Northampton Saints in the Northants League.
