Roger Thorpe Peckinpaugh (February 5 1891 – November 17 1977) was an American shortstop in Major League Baseball for the Cleveland Indians (1910-1913), New York Yankees (1913-1921), Washington Senators (1922-1926) and Chicago White Sox (1927). He managed the Yankees for 20 games in 1914 and was the team captain for the remainder of his time with the club.

Born in Wooster, Ohio, he won the League Award in the American League in by|1925. In the 1925 World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Peckinpaugh committed eight errors in the seven-game series, contributing to the Pittsburgh victory. This was not out of character for him; he has the second-worst fielding percentage since 1910 of players with at least 1900 games played.

After retiring, Peckinpaugh served as the Indians' manager, and later became Cleveland's general manager and president. He died in Cleveland, Ohio at age 86.
