Frederick "Rick" Timmo (born 27 July 1947 in Napier, New Zealand) is a former motorcycle speedway rider. Rick Timmo had his first rides at Napier, where he spent three years before being advised by Colin McKee to try his luck in England. McKee fixed a trial for Timmo at Hackney but promoter Danny Dunton signed him up for Oxford where he stayed for a number of years and became a fans favourite. Barry Briggs, another Kiwi, tried to tempt Timmo to ride for Swindon Robins but he declined. His career was prematurely ended when he had a nasty crash at a grasstrack meeting and broke his femur.
