Richard Jerome Kokos, born Kokoszka (February 28, 1928 – April 9, 1986), was an American professional baseball outfielder.

In a 5-year, 475-game career, he compiled a .263 batting average (410-1558) with 239 runs, 59 home runs, 223 RBI, an on-base percentage of .365 and a slugging percentage of .441.
