Randall Jay Richman (born September 24, 1968) is an American magician, comedian, and satirist based out of Westlake Village, California.

He is best known for an incident on December 7, 1999, in which he taught a fire-eating class at The Magic Castle, and was arrested that evening for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. Richman asserted that he had not been drinking alcohol, but that he had consumed lighter fluid during the class which resulted in his breath-alcohol reading of 0.17%. A jury later voted 10-2 to acquit Richman in April 12, 1999. The story was picked up by the Associated Press, including the LA Times and the EXTRA TV show.

Richman started out as a junior member at The Magic Castle in Hollywood. In addition to his guest appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (1991), Richman has performed magic on national television shows around the world.
