Salvatore Anthony "Torey" Lovullo (born July 25, 1965) is an American professional baseball infielder who is currently the manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB). In his playing days he was listed at 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and 185 pounds (84 kg) and was a switch hitter who threw right-handed. Lovullo served as the first base coach for the Toronto Blue Jays from 2011 to 2012, as well as the bench coach for the Boston Red Sox from 2013 until 2016. He also served as Boston's interim manager for the final seven weeks of the 2015 season when his boss, John Farrell, stepped aside for successful treatment for lymphoma. Lovullo compiled a win-loss record of 28–20 (.583) from August 14, 2015, through the final day of the season, October 4.

A native of Santa Monica, California, he is an alumnus of the University of California, Los Angeles; his father, Sam, was a producer on the television show Hee Haw. Lovullo was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the fifth round of the 1987 Major League Baseball draft and made his Major League debut with the Tigers on September 10, 1988. He also played in the Majors for the New York Yankees, California Angels, Seattle Mariners, Oakland Athletics and Cleveland Indians, and appeared in his final big-league game on October 3, 1999, for the Philadelphia Phillies. After his MLB career ended, Lovullo spent one season in Japan as a member of the Yakult Swallows in 2000.
