Osbern fitzRichard (died after 1088) was a Frenchman, perhaps Norman, who was a landowner and tenant-in-chief in England.
Osbern was the son of Richard Scrob, who arrived in England before the Norman Conquest of England. Richard was the builder of Richard's Castle in Herefordshire, one of the few castles that predates the Norman Conquest in England.
Osbern married Nesta or Nest, the daughter of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn and Ealdgyth. Ealdgyth was the daughter of Ælfgar, Earl of Mercia.
Osbern's heir was his son Hugh fitzOsbern. He also had a daughter, Nesta (or perhaps Agnes), who married Bernard de Neufmarché. Both Hugh and Nesta were the children of his wife, but Osbern perhaps had another son, Turstin, who is named as the brother of Hugh fitzOsbern in a charter of Osbern fitzPons.
Osbern married Nest VERCH GRUFFYDD, daughter of Gruffudd AP LLYWELYN , King of Wales and Édith (Ealdgyth) OF MERCIA , Queen of England.
