Roger Dean Broughton (7 October 1958, Gisborne 25 August 2004, Hiruharama) was a New Zealand cricketer who played 21 first-class matches and 16 limited-overs for the Northern Districts Knights in the 1980s. He also played for Poverty Bay in the Hawke Cup. The Hawke Cup is a cricket competition for New Zealand's District Associations. Apart from 1910/11, 1912/13 and 2000/01 the competition has always been on a challenge basis. In order to win the Hawke Cup the challenger must beat the holder on their home ground. Teams from New Zealand's 4 "main centres", Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin have not usually competed for the Hawke Cup, although they did participate for the latter half of the 1990s. They were excluded again from the 2000/01 season. Since then, the team from Hamilton, the city at the centre of New Zealand's fourth largest urban area, has been the strongest team in the competition.
