Robert Lee Trice (August 28, 1926 – September 16, 1988) was an American baseball pitcher who played for the Philadelphia / Kansas City Athletics (1953–1955).

A native of Newton, Georgia, the right-hander stood 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) and weighed 190 lbs.

Trice's professional career began with the Negro league Homestead Grays, where he played from 1948 to 1950.

When Trice made his major league debut (September 13, 1953 at Connie Mack Stadium), he became the first black player in Athletics history.

He pitched a 1–0 complete game shutout that day in front of a home crowd of 4,920.
