Richard Peter Mehen (May 20, 1922 – December 14, 1986) was an American professional basketball player. He played college basketball for the Tennessee Volunteers.

Mehen played college basketball at the University of Tennessee, but his career was interrupted by service in the United States Air Force during World War II alongside his brother Bernie, who was also a college and pro basketball player.

Mehen began his career with the Toledo Jeeps of the NBL, and was transferred with teammate Harry Boykoff to the Waterloo Hawks, where he played one season in the NBL and another in the NBA. After the Hawks left the league, he had stints with the Baltimore Bullets, Boston Celtics, Fort Wayne Pistons and Milwaukee Hawks.
