Aloysius Joseph "Loy" Rodoreda (29 May 1892 – 11 March 1958) was an Australian politician who was the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1953 to 1956. A member of the Labor Party, he sat in parliament from 1933 to his death in 1958, first representing Roebourne and then Pilbara, both located in the state's North-West.
Rodoreda was born in Perth to Julia (née Down) and Edward John Rodoreda, a storekeeper of Catalan and Irish descent. From a Roman Catholic family, he was educated at Christian Brothers' College, Perth, and subsequently held a variety of jobs in country Western Australia, including as a clerk at Wyndham, a Public Works Department paymaster at Kondinin, and a wharfinger and general merchant at Roebourne. Rodoreda was first elected to parliament at the 1933 state election, becoming only the second member of the Labor Party to represent Roebourne, an original Legislative Assembly district. He defeated the sitting Nationalist member, John Church, who had only been elected to parliament in a by-election the previous year.
