Earl Jesse Battey, Jr. (January 5, 1935 - November 15, 2003) was an American catcher in Major League Baseball. Battey was born in Los Angeles, California, and died of cancer at the age of 68 in Ocala, Florida.

Battey was part of a charity program sponsored by Con Edison of NY whereby children were given free bleacher tickets to New York Yankee games. Battey talked baseball and was a "big brother" to all the kids who were lucky enough to benefit from the program.
