Olivier Richters (born 5 September 1989) is a Dutch professional bodybuilder and actor. Known as The Dutch Giant, Richters stands at 2.18 metres (7 ft 2 in) tall. After pursuing a career in bodybuilding, Richters focused more intentionally on his acting career, portraying characters such as Ursa in the 2021 film Black Widow. He also appeared in The King's Man and The Electrical Life of Louis Wain in 2021, in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in 2023, and the third season of Reacher in 2025.

Richters was born in Hilversum, North Holland, on 5 September 1989. From a young age, Richters towered over students of his age. While he continued to grow, Richters developed pectus excavatum, which required surgery in his childhood, breaking his ribcage and allowing the ribs to regrow to rectify the issue. By 19, Richters had grown to 2.18 metres (7 ft 2 in) tall, yet weighed under 80 kilograms (180 lb). This motivated Richters to seek a "change", and to pursue bodybuilding.
