Richard Selig (1929-1957), was an American poet. He attended the University of Washington and later Magdalen College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.

Selig’s legacy is intertwined with that of his wife, Mary O’Hara, whose own career as a musician was influenced by their time together. O’Hara continued to tour and record for four years after Selig’s death at the age of 27, before taking a twelve-year hiatus from her musical career.
