Richard R. "Dickie" Boon (January 10, 1878 – May 3, 1961) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who played for the Montreal HC of the Canadian Amateur Hockey League (CAHL) and the Montreal Wanderers of the Federal Amateur Hockey League (FAHL) in the early 1900s. He was a player on two Stanley Cup winning teams and managed the Wanderers to four Cup titles.

Boon helped lead the Montreal HC to two Stanley Cups in 1902 and 1903. In 1903, Boon retired to become the manager of the Montreal Wanderers, holding the post until the club folded in 1918. He lead the Wanderers to four Stanley Cup titles in 1906, 1907, 1908, and 1910 as Manager.

After hockey, Boon became a co-founder of the Boon-Strachan Coal business. After leaving the ice for good, he took up curling and golf.
