Murray (Meir) Roston (Hebrew: מאיר רוסטון; born 1928) is an Israeli Emeritus professor of English Literature at Bar-Ilan University.

Roston married Faith Lehrman and, shortly afterwards, they immigrated to Israel, living for many years in Kiryat Ono and then moving to Nordiya, near Netanya.

In 1996, he was appointed to the permanent faculty at UCLA as adjunct professor, and subsequently taught there every third year, while retaining his position in Israel.

Roston is an interdisciplinary scholar, author of a series of books examining how a knowledge of contemporary changes in the visual arts can illumine our understanding of parallel developments in literature.

His most recent book, The Comic Mode in English Literature, was rated, in Choice's annual review, one of the Outstanding Academic titles of 2012.
