Richard Keith Stott (17 August 1943 – 30 July 2007) was a British journalist and editor. Born in Oxford, he attended Clifton College in Bristol. He began his career in journalism with the Bucks Herald, aged 19. After the Great Train Robbery that year, he was the only journalist to interview the driver of the train that pulled the hijacked one off the main line. As a result of this interview, it was realised that the cash haul was a great deal more than had at first been estimated.
