Casey John Kotchman (born February 22, 1983) is an American professional baseball first baseman who is a free agent. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians and Miami Marlins. He was known for setting the record for having the most consecutive put-outs without committing an error.

He was on the 2001 national champion team of Seminole High School in Seminole, Florida.

The Anaheim Angels selected Kotchman with the thirteenth overall pick in the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft.

In 2006, the Angels moved 2005 starter Darin Erstad back to center field, announcing that Kotchman would likely open the season at first base. After struggling in his at-bats early in 2006 because of mononucleosis, Kotchman was placed on the disabled list in early May. In 2007, Kotchman proclaimed himself fully healthy and proved it by winning the Angels' opening day first baseman job for the second straight year.
