Rodney Butcher (born February 4, 1970) is an American professional golfer.

Butcher was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts. He went to Florida Southern College (where he was a three-time NCAA Division II All-American) and graduated in 1992 with a degree in finance. He turned pro that same year.

Butcher played on the Nike Tour (now Nationwide Tour) full-time in 1998. He does not currently play on a specific tour, and over the years has not amassed much success on either the PGA Tour or the Nationwide Tour. He has, however, won many state opens along with the 2003 Bay Mills Open Players Championship on the Canadian Tour.

In 2009, Butcher played in three Nationwide Tour events, and three PGA Tour events, after a 5-year absence from either Tour.
