Royden Richard Sherid (January 25, 1907 – February 28, 1982) was an American professional baseball pitcher who appeared in 87 games over three seasons in the Major Leagues (1929–1931) for the New York Yankees.

Born in Norristown, Pennsylvania, he threw and batted right-handed, stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg).

But the Yankees finished a distant second in the American League, 18 lengths behind the eventual world champion Philadelphia Athletics.

His Yankees had another disappointing campaign, dropping to third place and finishing 16 games behind the Athletics, who won their second straight World Series.

The following season, in Sherid's second appearance of 1931, as a starter against the second-division Boston Red Sox, he threw a 15-inning complete game, only to lose 5–4.
