ロジャー・ウッドワード(Roger Woodward, 1942年12月19日 – )はオーストラリアのクラシック音楽あるいは現代音楽のためのピアニスト。アメリカ合衆国在住。
シドニーでケネス・ロングに教会音楽を学ぶ。ユージン・グーセンスに指揮法を、ラフマニノフの門弟アレクサンドル・スヴェルジェンスキーにピアノを、レイモンド・ハンソンに作曲を師事した後、ポーランドでパデレフスキの高弟ズビグニェフ・ジェヴィエツキの薫陶を受けた。
オーストラリア屈指のピアニストとして世界中に知られており、早くからアルトゥール・ルービンシュタインやユーディ・メニューインからも認められていた。120以上の音楽祭に出演しており、そのうちいくつかはスヴャトスラフ・リヒテルに招待されての参加であった。
1980年と1992年のエリザベス2世の誕生日に、イギリス政府とオーストラリア政府から叙勲されており、またオーストラリアの人間国宝にも選ばれた。
録音数は100点以上と極めて多く、そのほとんどが、クセナキスやモートン・フェルドマン、武満徹などの音源に代表されるように現代音楽である。しかしながら、パデレフスキやラフマニノフの流れを汲むヴィルトゥオーゾでもあり、バッハやショパン、後期のスクリャービンも録音している。
