Florendo R. "Renren" Ritualo, Jr. (born June 14, 1979) is a Filipino former professional basketball player and current coach. He last played for the Shopinas.com Clickers of the Philippine Basketball Association and is currently an assistant coach for the Adamson Falcons in the UAAP. Nicknamed Ren-Ren and The Rainman, Ritualo was also a one-time member of the Philippine National Team, and is the son of former PBA player Florendo Ritualo Sr. and Maria Yasoña de Ramos of Lumban, Laguna.
He serves as the panelist on UAAP coverage in ABS-CBN Sports occasionally.
During his UAAP stint, Ritualo signed up with Tanduay in the Philippine Basketball League in 1998 in a limited role for the team as the Centennial Rhum Masters took a runner-up finish in the 2nd Yakult PBL Centennial Cup tournament. After Tanduay left the PBL, Ritualo was the key player for Tanduay's Colt 45 team in the 1999 PBL Challenge Cup, when the team placed third in the tournament.
After Colt45 decided to leave the league, Ritualo joined Welcoat Paints in late 1999. Ritualo led Welcoat to three PBL titles from 1999-2001 before jumping to the PBA.
In 2003, Ritualo was named as one of PBL's Greatest Players of All-time.
Ritualo was selected as the eight overall pick in the 2002 PBA draft by expansion team FedEx Express. But before Ritualo was set to join FedEx, he was part of the RP National Training Pool for the 2002 Busan Asian Games. Ritualo was cut from the team and returned to his mother team.
