Ross Emery Detwiler (born March 6, 1986) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Oakland Athletics organization. He was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the first round of the 2007 MLB draft and made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut late that season. He has played in MLB for the Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, and Athletics.

In college, Detwiler pitched for Missouri State University of the Missouri Valley Conference. In 2006, he was a member of the All-MVC Tournament team, and he also pitched 10 1⁄3 innings in two starts for Falmouth in the Cape Cod League, accruing a 1.74 ERA, striking out 14 batters, and issuing three walks before moving on to play for Team USA.
