Richard Percivale or Perceval (1550–1620) was an English administrator and politician, also known as a Hispanist and lexicographer.
He wrote a Spanish grammar for English readers, A Spanish Grammar, and a dictionary, both included in his Bibliotheca Hispanica (1591); this work was later enlarged by John Minsheu in A dictionarie in Spanish and English (London: E. Bollifant, 1599).
