Rogatien "Rogie" Vachon (b. September 8, 1945 in Palmarolle, Quebec) was a French-Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who played for the Montreal Canadiens, Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings, and Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League.

Vachon won the 1968 Vezina Trophy with the Canadiens, along with three Stanley Cups. Vachon was traded to the Kings in 1971, where he achieved his greatest individual success. His number 30 was retired by the Kings in 1986. He ended his career with Boston in 1982. He has since served in a variety of executive positions with the Los Angeles Kings.

Vachon is also the last active goalie that played during the Original Six era.

Known for his great reflexes and quick glove hand, Vachon was considered one of the premier one-on-one goaltenders of his era. Internationally, Vachon was the starting goaltender for Canada's 1976 Canada Cup team where he achieved a record of 6 wins and 1 loss, the latter coming at the hands of Czechoslovakia, the team he would later beat to capture the championship.
