Roger Wolcott (January 4, 1679 – May 17, 1767) was an American weaver, statesman, and politician from Windsor, Connecticut.

As deputy governors traditionally served as the chief justice of the Superior Court of Connecticut, he also assumed that position, which he held until 1750.

In King George's War, Massachusetts governor William Shirley issued a general call to the New England colonies for an expedition against the French in Île-Royale (present-day Cape Breton Island).

General Wolcott headed the Connecticut troops in Sir William Pepperrell's expedition that captured Fortress Louisbourg.

Shortly after he retired as governor, his son, Roger Wolcott, Sr., attended negotiations with six other British colonies and around 200 members of various Indian nations at the Albany Congress in June and July 1754.

Wolcott died at home in Windsor at the age of 88, and is interred at the Old Burying Ground (Palisado Cemetery) there.
