Richard Leland Bare (born August 12, 1913) is an American director of television shows and short films.

Born in Modesto, California, he attended USC School of Cinematic Arts where he directed his most notable student film, The Oval Portrait, an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's story. He became notable post-graduation for writing and directing the Joe McDoakes series of short films for Warner Brothers between 1942 and 1956, featuring George O'Hanlon in the title role. On television, he directed The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series) episode "To Serve Man (The Twilight Zone)". He directed virtually every episode of the 1960s-1970s CBS television series Green Acres.

His memoir, Confessions of a Hollywood Director discusses his directorial work, as well as behind-the-scenes information. Bare also wrote a book entitled, The Film Director: A Practical Guide to Motion Picture and Television Techniques (1971; ISBN 0-02-012130-X), a text to teach the craft of directing to aspiring filmmakers.

On November 19, 2007, Bare announced that he was working on a revival of Green Acres.
