Richard Lee Walker Jr. (March 9, 1938 – March 30, 2005) was an American astronomer known for his observations of double stars and for discovering Epimetheus, an inner moon of Saturn. Interested in astronomy since his youth, he graduated from the University of Iowa in 1963 after studying physics and astronomy under James Van Allen and Satoshi Matsushima. He began work at the United States Naval Observatory (USNO) in Washington, D. C., in 1963. Initially assigned to the USNO's Time Service, he switched to work observing double stars alongside Kaj Strand.
