Ron Troupe is a fictional DC Comics character appearing in Superman comics. Alongside with Cat Grant, he is one of the enduring character of the Daily Planet bullpen created in DC post Crisis Universe. He first appeared in Adventures of Superman #480 (July 1991), where he is turned down for a job at the Daily Planet by acting-editor Sam Foswell. In the following issue, he got a job at Colin Thornton's Newstime magazine, when Jimmy Olsen was late for his interview. Shortly afterwards he was fired from Newstime, and hired by Perry White, who had returned to the Planet. During the Reign of the Supermen, White compared Troupe's piece on the Cyborg Superman to the first Superman stories by Lois Lane and Clark Kent.

Troupe is one of the Planet's more level-headed reporters, and not as likely to get into situations he cannot get out of as Lois or Jimmy, although he is still prepared to run risks in pursuit of a story. He has twice taken on the racist supervillain Bloodsport II.

During events following the selling of Daily Planet to LexCorp, Ron Troupe and Lucy Lane, Lois Lane's sister, were having an affair. In current Superman comics, he married ler, and they have a son, Samuel, in homage of her father.

Troupe briefly appeared in the pilot episode of Superman: The Animated Series, where he was voiced by Dorian Harewood. Harewood reprised the role in a single episode of Season 2. Ron Troupe also made various background cameos in the Daily Planet throughout the series.
