Richard A. (Dick) Teague was an Industrial Designer in the North American automotive industry. Teague held design positions at Packard and Studebaker-Packard before being named Vice President of Design for AMC in the mid-1960s.

As a child, Teauge was an actor, appearing in shorts popular for the time. As an adult, Teague began his long stay in the automotive industry by briefly working for Oldsmobile. Prior to joining AMC, Teague had been associated with Packard Motor Corporation and its subsequent identity, the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. The restyled senior Packard line for 1955 was the outcome of Teague's keen eye for detail and his ability to produce significant changes based on limited budgets.

Following his tenure with Packard, Teague eventually joined AMC as a member of Edmund Anderson's design team. When Anderson was released from AMC, Teague was named principal designer for the American Motors Corporation. He was responsible for the design of a number of the cars, including the now-legendary AMC Gremlin and AMC Pacer. Prior to working for AMC, he was the design chief for Packard Motors. His successes ranged from the Rambler American, AMC Javelin and Hornet to the equally infamous and aforementioned Pacer and AMC Gremlin. His last handiwork can be seen in the Jeep Cherokee and the interior of the Eagle Premier, which was to be the starting point for Chrysler's large LH models.
