Richard Wedderburn (floruit 1560-1602), was a Scottish merchant based in Denmark. Richard Wedderburn was the eldest son of Alexander Wedderburn elder (1510–1589) and Isobel Anderson. He was a great uncle of David Wedderburne of Dundee who is known for his account book published in 1898. Richard's brother Patrick Wedderburn was also merchant and burgess in Dundee, but Richard was not recorded as a burgess or freeman of Dundee. Wedderburn was a burgess or citizen of Elsinore or Helsingør in Denmark by 1568. He supplied timber for the roof of the kirk of Dundee in 1591.
