Rick Roderick (1949–2002) was an American professor of philosophy, best known for his lectures for The Teaching Company.

Roderick was born in Abilene, Texas on June 16, 1949, son of (by his own description) a “con-man” and a “beautician”. He was a teacher of philosophy at several universities, where he was much revered by many students for a Socratic style of teaching combined with a brash and often humorous approach. His breakthrough into wider circles came with his engagement with The Teaching Company where he recorded several memorable lecture series. Rick Roderick died on January 18, 2002 from a congestive heart condition.
