Roger James Cooke, född Roger Frederick Cook 19 augusti 1940 i Bristol, också känd som Roger Cook, är en engelsk låtskrivare och sångare. Han hade ett mycket framgångsrikt samarbete med låtskrivaren Roger Greenaway. Tillsammans fick de en stor hit som David & Jonathan med låten "Lovers of the World Unite".

1968 solodebuterade Cook under namnet Roger James Cook, men sedan ändrade han artistnamn till Roger Cook. 1970 fick han till en jättehit på Tio i topp med listettan "Today I Killed a Man I Didn't Know", ursprungligen lanserad av P.J. Proby - vilken för övrigt var den låt som toppade Tio i topp den 5 september 1970, som var det första programmet med Kaj Kindvall som programledare.
Han följde upp sin listetta med hiten "I Gotta Dream" senare samma år, men därefter försvann han från svenska hitlistor.

Han blev 1980 ordförande för brittiska motsvarigheten till STIM och 1995 blev han europachef för amerikanska ASCAP.
