Kelvin Barry "Kel" Richards (born 8 February 1946) is an Australian author, journalist, radio personality and lay Christian.

Richards has written a series of crime novels and thrillers for adult readers which includes The Case of the Vanishing Corpse, Death in Egypt and An Outbreak of Darkness.

Richards presented ABC NewsRadio's weekend afternoons, which included regular Wordwatch segments until 15 August 2010.[1] Wordwatch was a feature introduced by Richards. Initially developed as a "filler" program for the radio programs to allow time for changes of people or locations, it tapped into an interest by the listening public and several books have been produced based on the show's research. In November 2003 the thousandth episode of the show was produced.[2]

Kel Richards currently presents Sydney radio station 2CH's Sunday night program "Sunday Night with Kel Richards".[3]

He is a lay canon at St Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney, and the author of the Aussie Bible, which has sold over 100,000 copies. This book translates sections of the Bible into Australian vernacular ('strine').
