Robert Watson "Babe" "Baby" Roane (September 26, 1901 – October 12, 1959) was a college basketball player for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, known as Tech's first basketball star.

Later in life he was superintendent of Davenport Hosiery Mills in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

[1] Tech's first basketball star[2] entered school in 1920, and played with the freshmen in 1921, until coach Bill Alexander inserted him to boost the strength of his varsity team.

[10] One account reads "Roane is small in stature, but his ability to dribble, pass, and handle the ball eliminates the handicap.

He is a dead shot if given half a chance, and is one of the greatest floormen in the south.
