English cricketer and cricket administrator

Roger Pearman (13 February 1943 – 9 April 2009) was an English cricketer and cricket administrator.

Born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, Pearman represented Middlesex (1962-1964), Minor Counties South (1973), Bedfordshire (1973) and Minor Counties North (1974–1975) as a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler.[1] He was a successful batsman and captain for Hornsey Cricket Club, and helped found the Middlesex County League.[2]

He served as Chief Executive of Derbyshire County Cricket Club between 1981 and April 1987, where he was instrumental in bringing the club's organisation and facilities up to a much improved standard and returning the club's finances to profit. However, he met with opposition from some on the committee and was sacked.[2]

His younger brother Hugh also represented Middlesex.[3]
