Roger Rönnberg (born July 27, 1971) is a Swedish ice hockey coach currently working as head coach of the Gothenburg based SHL-team Frölunda Indians. He is the former head coach of the Sweden men's national junior ice hockey team but was succeeded by his assistant coach Rikard Grönborg after the 2013 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships where the Junior Crowns lost to USA in the final and brought home Swedens 9th silver in WJC. Rönnberg was an assistant coach for the Sweden men's national ice hockey team at the 2009, 2010, and 2011 IIHF World Championships.

Rönnberg stepped in as head coach for Frölunda Indians after Kent Johansson and rebuilt the team completely. Only keeping a few key-players, including captain Joel Lundqvist, Rönnberg broke Frölundas trend of buying expensive players from other teams and instead choose to look for young talents in Gothenburgs youth-teams. 6 players that Rönnberg coached in the WJC joined up to play for Frölunda when he took over the team, and a few more has come after returning from the US or KHL.

During a game Rönnberg got furious.
