Viola Lillian Myers (later Richardson, 1927 – November 15, 1993) was a Canadian sprinter who competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics. She won a bronze medal in the 4×100 m relay and finished fourth in the individual 100 m. Myers started training in athletics in the early 1940s, and in 1944 set a national record in the 80 m sprint. She set another national record in 1948, in the 60 m, which stood until 1973. Myers retired shortly after the 1950 British Empire Games. In 2011, she was inducted into the Athletics Ontario Hall of Fame. Canadian ice hockey players Doug and Murray Wilson are her nephews. She died in 1993 at a hospital in Toronto.
