Richard Haller is a Pensacola businessman who owns Richard Haller Food Service Equipment and Supplies on West Romana Street. He is the husband of Nancy Haller, dance instructor at Ballet Pensacola and eldest daughter of Pensacola businessman Norman Willenzik.

Haller originally worked at Pensacola Restaurant Supply, or Penko, co-owned by his father-in-law, Norman, until his death in 1990, until 2002, when an economic downturn forced Norman's brother, Oscar to let go about half of his employees, including Haller.

Haller eventually founded Richard Haller Food Service Equipment and Supplies. He took a few Penko employees with him, including brother-in-law Michael for a period time.

He is a member of B'nai Israel Synagogue.

Both of his daughters went through Pensacola High School's rigorous International Baccalaureate program.
