Richard Whiting Colman Jr. (November 11, 1914 – April 5, 1982) was an American football player and coach. He served as the head football coach at Princeton University from 1957 to 1968, compiling a record of 75–33. Colman had been the assistant to Princeton's previous coach, Charlie Caldwell; like Caldwell, Colman was known for his successful reliance on the single-wing formation offense, and ultimately he became the last major college coach to use the single wing, which Princeton gave up only after Colman's departure in 1969.[1]

After retiring from coaching, Colman was the athletic director at Middlebury College from 1969 to 1977.[1] Colman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1990.
