Richard Arkwright Snelling (February 18, 1927 in Allentown, Pennsylvaniandash August 13, 1991 in Shelburne, Vermont) was the Governor of Vermont from 1977 to 1985 and from January 10, 1991 until his death from heart failure.

He was the son of Walter O. Snelling.

A member of the Republican Party, he served in the Vermont House of Representatives for six terms.

He was first elected governor in 1976 and was later re-elected to three additional consecutive termsndash in 1978, 1980, and 1982ndash but left office in January 1985, choosing not to run in 1984. He ran for the U.S. Senate in 1986 but lost to incumbent Patrick Leahy in a landslide.

In 1990 Snelling was once again elected governor, becoming the first Vermont governor to win five mandates. He died of a heart attack seven months after his final inauguration. Lieutenant Governor Howard Dean, a Democrat, was sworn in as governor.
