Sir Roger Owen (1573 – 29 May 1617) was an English lawyer and Member of Parliament during the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods.
He was the eldest son of Thomas Owen of Condover, Shropshire. Owen was educated at Shrewsbury School in 1583 and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1592. He trained in law at Lincoln's Inn beginning in 1589 and was called to the bar in 1597.
In 1598, following the death of his father, he inherited the family estate, Condover Hall, which had been constructed for him by Thomas Owen. He was subsequently knighted in 1604.
