Richard Alexander Fownes (born 26 October 1983) is an English musician from Brighton. He currently plays and writes for[1] With Scissors.[2] He also plays live for UNKLE.

Fownes joined The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster after Andy Huxley's departure in 2005, but in 2008 he left to join Nine Inch Nails.[3][4] However this plan collapsed and he was replaced with Justin Meldal-Johnsen.[5] He has since played in The Duke Spirit and Clever Thing.

In 2020, Fownes opened up to Soundsphere magazine[6] about his departure from Nine Inch Nails, his work in Bad For Lazarus[7] and Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, alongside some new projects.

As of 2025, Fownes has been a part of the band, Not Richard and Her Majesty[8].
