Roy A. Hargrove (born October 16 1969) is an American jazz trumpeter.

Hargrove was born in Waco, Texas, and was discovered as a potential jazz talent when Wynton Marsalis visited his high school. He attended Boston's Berklee College of Music, and was soon releasing albums. He also was a sideman on albums by other notable people, including Sonny Rollins, James Clay, Frank Morgan, and Jackie McLean.

One of his biggest influences was saxophone player David "Fathead" Newman who played with the Ray Charles Band at Hargrove's junior high school.

Hargrove won a Grammy Award in 1998 for the album Habana with his Afro-Cuban band, Crisol.
