Charles Richard Barton Speight (13 July 1870 – 23 December 1935) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A forward, who came out of the Parnell club, Speight represented Auckland at a provincial level. He was a member of the New Zealand national side in 1893, playing seven tour matches for the team.[1]

After moving to Hamilton, Speight served as a member of the Hamilton Borough Council and the Waikato Trotting Club committee.[2] He died in Hamilton on 23 December 1935 and was buried at Hamilton East Cemetery.[3]

His brother, Harold Murray Hamilton Speight, also represented Auckland in 1894.[4]
