Ricardas Beniušis (born 23 April 1980) is a Lithuanian footballer.

Beniušis started his career with Atletas Kaunas team in 1998 and played in Lithuanian First league. After one year he joined Inkaras Kaunas in A lyga. He played there until 2002, while returning there after short spells with Russian clubs Baltika Kaliningrad and Krylya Sovetov Samara. He spent one season in Norway (2002) with Start before again moving back to Lithuania with Atlantas Klaipeda. He joined FBK Kaunas in 2003, and has since won 3 A Lyga titles, two Lithuanian Cups and two Lithuanian Super Cups with the club.

He joined Hearts on a season-long loan deal in July 2007. He made his debut for Hearts in a 1–0 defeat to city rivals Hibernian F.C., playing very poorly and leading to many calling him 'Beniuseless'. He made few starts for Hearts and was sent back to FBK Kaunas early, on 19 March 2008.

In January 2010, he signed for the Israeli club, Hapoel Ra'anana for three years.
