Ryan Drese (born April 5, 1976 in San Francisco, California) is a Major League Baseball pitcher and a graduate of Bishop O'Dowd High School in Oakland, California. Drese is currently a free agent.

Previously, Drese has pitched for the Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers, and Washington Nationals. He was very effective for the Rangers as a starter in 2004, winning 14 games. In 2005, Drese was, somewhat surprisingly, placed on waivers after a slow start. He was immediately claimed by the Nationals. The Rangers never recovered from Drese's release and failed to make the playoffs.

Drese spent most of the 2006 season on the disabled list. He was released by the Nationals on October 3, 2006.
