Ronald Frederick Atkinson (born 18 March 1939), commonly known as Big Ron or Bojangles, is an English former football player and manager. In the 1990s and early 2000s, he was one of Britain's best-known football pundits.

He spent his playing career at Oxford United, where he still holds the club record for appearances. As a manager, he won the FA Cup with Manchester United in 1983 and 1985 and the Football League Cup with Sheffield Wednesday in 1991 and Aston Villa in 1994.
