Roger Pearman (born 5 September 1939 (age 83)) is an English rugby union and rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s, and coached rugby league in the 1960s. He played club level rugby union (RU) for Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Sandal RUFC, Headingley, Loughborough University, and club level rugby league (RL) for Wakefield Trinity (Heritage № 679), and Canterbury-Bankstown (Heritage № 300), as a loose forward, i.e. number 13, during the era of contested scrums, and coached club level rugby league for Canterbury-Bankstown.

Roger Pearman's birth was registered in Wakefield district, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. Roger Pearman played loose forward in Wakefield Trinity ’s 25-10 victory over Wigan in the 1963 Challenge Cup Final during the 1962–63 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 11 May 1963, in front of a crowd of 84,492.

He emigrated to Australia in 1964 and joined Canterbury-Bankstown as a loose forward. Roger was selected in first-grade upon his arrival and became the 300th player to play first-grade for the club. He went on to become a regular member of the team in his initial season.

After an injury interrupted his 1965 season, Roger was appointed first-grade coach in 1966. He commenced the 1966 season in first-grade but forfeited his position to allow George Taylforth back into the team. He played in third grade so that he could adequately prepare for the coaching role in first-grade. In 1967, Kevin Ryan was appointed captain-coach of first-grade.
