Richard Garnet Rowland (born February 25, 1964) is an American former professional baseball player.
He played in Major League Baseball as a backup catcher for the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox from 1990 to 1995.
In addition to catching, he also played sparsely as a designated hitter, first baseman, third baseman, and pinch runner (although appearing only as a pinch runner in a game does not count as a game played).
Prior to playing professional baseball, Rowland attended Mendocino College in nearby Ukiah, California.
He also had a longer career in minor league baseball on and off from 1988–1997, where he even served as a pitcher in three games.
