Jason Glenn Roach (born April 20, 1976) is a former Major League Baseball starting pitcher. He batted and threw right-handed.

Roach was drafted by the New York Mets in the 20th round of the 1997 Major League Baseball draft out of UNC Wilmington. He was primarily a third baseman until spring training in 2000, at which point the Mets converted him to pitching, believing it would give him a quicker route to the majors.^[1] He played in 2003 with the Mets, wearing #57. He had a 0-2 record in 2 games, with a 12.00 ERA.

Singles in his only two at-bats left Roach with a rare MLB career batting average of 1.000.
