Richard Muagututia (born 7 January 1988) is a Samoan rugby union player who plays as a number eight.[2] He has one cap for Samoa, making his début against Japan.[3]

In September 2011 he joined the Worcester Warriors.[4][5] In November 2011 he left the club, after it was revealed that he had joined on a three-month visa, and had to leave the UK to normalise his immigration status.[6] During 2012, it was announced that he would leave Worcester Warriors after one season. Muagututia had not played as much as he wanted, when he suffered a broken cheek bone in the middle of the season.

In August 2013 he joined Spanish club Ordizia.[7][8] In September 2015 he joined French club Auch.[9]
