Walter Gary "Rip" Coleman (July 31, 1931 – May 14, 2004) was an American professional baseball player, a left-handed pitcher who played from 1955 to 1957 and 1959 to 1960 for the New York Yankees, Kansas City Athletics and Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball.

He appeared in one game in the 1955 World Series, giving up five hits in one inning of work.

The Yankees sent Coleman, Milt Graff, Billy Hunter, Mickey McDermott, Tom Morgan and Irv Noren to the Athletics for Art Ditmar, Bobby Shantz, Jack McMahan and Wayne Belardi.

Although he started a game, he pitched in only four innings total that year, walking five batters and striking out none.

After his death at age 72 in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, he was buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, New York.
