"Big" Ron was a minor fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Ron Tarr.

Ron, an overweight man, worked in Walford market, and appeared as a background character from 1985 to 1997. He was involved in a few storylines, including one where he broke his toe and had a heart attack after he was pushed by a mugger in the market.

The actor Ron Tarr died of cancer in October 1997 and was appearing in pre-recorded episodes several weeks after his death, so his character was given an off-screen storyline in early 1998 where he won £500,000 on the National Lottery and emigrated to Spain, to explain the disappearance of the character.
