Richard V. Ganslen (February 15, 1917 – May 12, 1995 in Denton, Texas) was an American track and field athlete specializing in the pole vault but also was a top athlete in the long jump and triple jump. He used his knowledge from being an active participant in the sport to author several technical manuals. While competing for Columbia University, he was the American national indoor champion in 1938 and the 1939 NCAA Champion in the pole vault. He also set the school records in the long jump and triple jump which lasted for 13 and 15 years respectively. Those marks are still #3 and #4 on Columbia's all-time list. In 1936, he had been the Junior National Champion. He continued to vault into masters age divisions until at least age 63. Sports Illustrated called him the "world's leading authority on pole-vaulting."
