Richard Carleton (1875–1939) was an American tennis player. He excelled at tennis while at Harvard and played tennis at the Crescent Athletic Club.[2] Carleton lost his first match at the U.S. Championships in 1896 to Edwin Fischer. In 1898 he lost in round two to Harold Hackett. Carleton reached the semi-finals of the U.S. Championships in 1903, and in beating Malcolm Whitman's younger brother was "steady and sure in the placing of his strokes."[3] Carleton lost his semifinal to Laurence Doherty.[4]
