Roger Morton McCardell (August 29, 1932 – November 13, 1996) was an American professional baseball player.

McCardell was born in Gorsuch Mills in Baltimore County, Maryland, and attended Boston University.

McCardell's professional career began in 1950 and he spent 11 seasons (and played in 911 games) in minor league baseball.

McCardell was the starting catcher in his MLB debut on May 8, and went hitless in two at bats against Danny McDevitt of the Los Angeles Dodgers before being removed for a pinch hitter.

He was traded by the Giants to the Baltimore Orioles on November 30, 1959[2] in a transaction headlined by Billy O'Dell and Jackie Brandt, but never appeared in a Major League game with his hometown club.
