Ronald Leslie Botchan (born February 15, 1935) is a retired American football official from the National Football League (NFL).
Prior to that he was an American football linebacker in the American Football League from 1960 to 1962.
As an official, Botchan worked as an umpire for nearly his entire NFL career and wore the number 110.
Regarded as the "NFL's best umpire" by the media, Botchan was assigned to a record-number five Super Bowls: XX in 1986, XXVII in 1993, XXIX in 1995, XXXI in 1997, and XXXIV in 2000.
He was also an alternate in Super Bowl XXVI in 1992, and Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002.
He rapidly ascended to the NFL ranks after nine years of officiating high school and college games and attributes his success to being "coachable".
