Roy Johannes Henricus Beerens (born 22 December 1987) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a right winger.

Known for his quick dribbling and fast sprints, Beerens emerged as a talent from the PSV youth academy, but made his breakthrough as part of the Heerenveen team between 2007 and 2011.

Beerens was part of the Netherlands U21 team winning the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship at home.

He was also allowed to join training camp for the Peace Cup tournament in South Korea, as part of the pre-season.
