Ronald Cecil Herrera (16 January 1905 – 16 March 1973) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Herrera hailed from Wattsville, near Crosskeys, and began playing senior rugby in 1921–22.
A forward, Herrera had a quick rise in rugby and gained his first Wales call up in 1925, within a year of having been in the Cross Keys reserves. He was capped eight times for Wales and scored two tries. By the end of his international career, Herrera had transferred to Newport RFC, upon joining the Newport Borough Police. He retired from rugby in 1931.
