Richard Edwin Stearns (5. jul 1936 -) je američki informatičar, najpoznatiji po radu na računskoj teoriji složenosti, za koji je godine 1993. zajedno sa Jurisom Hartmanisom dobio Turingovu nagradu.

(May 1965), „On the computational complexity of algorithms”, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society (American Mathematical Society) 117: 285–306, JSTOR 1994208, MR 0170805 . Contains the time hierarchy theorem, one of the theorems that shaped the field of computational complexity theory.

Answers a basic question about deterministic pushdown automata: it is decidable whether a given deterministic pushdown automaton accepts a regular language.
