Rodney Malcolm Hogg (born March 5, 1951, Melbourne) is a former Victorian and Australian cricketer. He was a fast bowler.

Hogg played in 38 Tests and 71 ODIs between 1978 and 1985. In Tests he took 123 wickets at an average of 28.47.

In 1979 Hogg was involved in an unseemly incident on the second day of the second Test between India and Australia in Bangalore. After being no-balled 11 times in six overs, Hogg bowled a beamer, kicked down the stumps and stormed off the field. His captain Kim Hughes tendered an immediate apology to the umpire and persuaded Hogg to express his apologies also.

After retirement from first class cricket, Hogg played at the age of 40 with Warrandyte Cricket Club for two seasons, taking 73 wickets at an average of 13.14 from 24 matches.
