Sid Vicious

John Simon Ritchie (født 10. mai 1957, død 2. februar 1979) kjent under navnet Sid Vicious, var en engelsk bassist/vokalist i bandet Sex Pistols. 

Han slet i mange år med en sterk avhengighet av amfetamin og heroin. Dødsårsaken var en overdose, og stoffet han tok da, skulle han ha fått av sin mor, som ville skåne ham fra et langt opphold i fengsel. Han risikerte livstid i fengsel etter en kveld med heftig diskusjon og narkotikabruk sammen med kjæresten, Nancy Spungen, som endte med at han våknet dagen etter og fant Nancy drept; stukket i magen med kniv. Han uttalte at han ikke husket noe fra kvelden. Han døde før saken kom for retten.
