Richard Lawrence McKenzie (8 January 1883 – 13 June 1959) was an Australian politician who represented the South Australian House of Assembly seat of Murray from 1938 to 1953. Elected as an independent, he joined Labor in 1943.[1]

He was one of 14 of 39 lower house MPs at the 1938 election to be elected as an independent, which as a grouping won 40 percent of the primary vote, more than either of the major parties. Tom Stott was the de facto leader of the independent caucus within parliament.
