Roger Ellwood Cloud (December 4, 1909 – April 20, 1988), was an American politician of the Republican party who represented Ohio in several capacities.
Having worked as a farmer and a factory worker, Cloud won election to the local school board in DeGraff.
In 1965, Ohio State Auditor Roger W. Tracy died and Governor James A. Rhodes appointed Chester W. Goble as a temporary replacement.
He defeated Congressman Donald "Buz" Lukens in the primary, but lost to Democrat John J. Gilligan.
That year the Ohio Republican Party was caught up in the "Crofters" scandal where the Republican state treasurer, John Herbert, had invested state money in improper investments with a big campaign contributor.
