Richard Paul Bacon is an English television and radio presenter. He was a host of the children's show Blue Peter—his first high-profile media role—until he was fired in 1998 after 18 months for admitting to taking cocaine.

In 2016 Bacon became the presenter of The National Geographic Channel's reboot of its documentary/panel discussion TV series, Explorer.
