Richard H. Hanna (July 31, 1879 – August 17, 1946)[1] was a justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court from January 10, 1912 to November 7, 1918, when he was defeated for reelection.

Born in Kankakee, Illinois, Hanna attended the public schools, and in 1896 enrolled at Northwestern University, where he remained for two years, until his health compelled him to move west. In January 1900, he enrolled as a student in the Law Department of the University of Colorado at Boulder, graduating in June 1903. He then moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and entered the practice of law.[2]

Hanna died at St. Joseph Hospital in Albuquerque, at the age of 68.[1]
