Richard Huloet was a 16th-century[1] English lexicographer. He was born at Wisbech, Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire.[2] He was a contemporary of Peter Levens, John Withals, and John Véron.

According to some sources, Samuel Johnson and he were the first writers in the English language to use the term "honeymoon".[3][4] He was the author of the Abecedarium Anglico-Latinum (1552). The book was dedicated to Thomas Goodrich, Bishop of Ely and chancellor of England.[5][6]
