Travis Marquez Outlaw (born September 18, 1984 in Starkville, Mississippi) is an American professional basketball player currently with the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA.

Entering the 2003 NBA Draft directly out of Starkville High School, Mississippi, the 6'9" forward was a first-round selection (23rd overall) by the Trail Blazers. He has averaged 6.8 points on 45.0% field goal shooting and 2.6 rebounds per game during his four-year career.

In the 2005 Vegas Summer League, Travis averaged 18.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 35.5 minutes. The performance earned him First Team All-RVSL honors. Following the summer league, several teams offered to trade for Travis in exchange for a first-round draft pick. Portland Trail Blazers director of player personnel Kevin Pritchard has said that Travis is "...going to be with us for a long time. I feel comfortable enough to say he's going to be a special player."

On April 18, 2007, Outlaw set a new career-high with 36 points against the Golden State Warriors.

Outlaw's agent, Bill Duffy, told "The Oregonian" that the contract is worth about $12 million, but Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard refused comment.
