Richard Hayman (March 27, 1920 – February 5, 2014) was an American arranger, harmonica player and conductor. Hayman started out as a player and arranger for the Borrah Minnevitch Harmonica Rascals before becoming an arranger for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios during the early 1940s. He did arrangements (often uncredited) for the MGM films Girl Crazy, Meet Me in St. Louis and Thousands Cheer. From 1945-1950, he was musical director for the Vaughn Monroe Orchestra. He continued to chart into the early 1960s with titles like "Night Train". Hayman is also noted for albums now regarded as Exotica.
