Kate Richardson (born 12 September 2002) is a Scottish and British road and track cyclist.

Career
A talented youth and junior athlete, Richardson won multiple national titles in her native Scotland in triathlon, athletics and cycling.

She switched from triathlon in 2021 joining cycling road racing team Alba DRT. She won the 2022 Ras na mBan road stage race in Ireland, and double gold at the 2023 U23 & Junior European Championships (individual pursuit and team pursuit) in Anadia, Portugal.

At the 2024 British Cycling National Track Championships she won her first two national titles, winning the Individual Pursuit and the Team Pursuit.

On 12 May 2024, eight weeks after breaking a collarbone and fracturing her scapula in a crash at Drenthe, The Netherlands, Richardson returned to racing, winning the Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix by attacking on the penultimate climb of the Michaelgate to break clear of the leading group and ride solo to the line.

On 5 June 2024, Richardson was forced to pull out of the Tour of Britain Women after fracturing her scapula for a second time when she was hit by the driver of a 4x4 during a training ride.
