Richard William Butler AC served as an Australian diplomat, United Nations weapons inspector, and Governor of Tasmania.

He joined the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs in 1965, and served in a number of postings until 1975, when he resigned to become Principal Private Secretary to the Leader of the Opposition, Gough Whitlam.

In 1983, the next Australian Labor Party Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, appointed him as Australia’s Permanent Representative on Disarmament to the United Nations in Geneva. He was next appointed Australian Ambassador to Thailand, and played a major part in the Cambodian peace settlement, working closely with then Foreign Minister Gareth Evans. He was Australian Ambassador to the United Nations from 1992 to 1997.
