Ronald George Fraser (June 25, 1933 – January 20, 2013) was an American college baseball coach best known for his tenure at the University of Miami from 1963 to 1992. Nicknamed the "Wizard of College Baseball", he led the Miami Hurricanes baseball program to over 1,200 victories—his teams set an NCAA baseball record with playoff appearances in 20 consecutive seasons and won College World Series championships in 1982 and 1985.
Fraser managed the United States national baseball team on several occasions, including to a world title at the 1973 Amateur World Series in Nicaragua and at the 1992 Summer Olympics. He also managed the Netherlands to two European championships in the 1960s.
