Richard Aucoin is a Canadian musician, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

He has toured throughout North and South America, Europe and Australia. He employs experimental recording techniques on his albums, and is noted for audience involvement and interaction at his performances. Aucoin has released five critically acclaimed studio LPs and EPs and singles and has won several Canadian awards, including the Sirius XM Indie Awards' Emerging Artist of the Year.

Aucoin claims his albums can act as alternative scores to films, reminiscent of Dark Side of the Rainbow, which combines the film The Wizard of Oz with the Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon.
