Robert Randall Bragan ( born October 30, 1917 in Birmingham, Alabama; † January 21, 2010 in Fort Worth, Texas) was an American shortstop, catcher, baseball manager and coach in Major League Baseball. He was also an influential leader in minor league baseball. He was born in Birmingham ( Alabama).

On 16 August 2005 Bragan returned from retirement to manage the Fort Worth Cats for a game. He was at an age of 87 years, nine months and 16 days the oldest manager in professional baseball in history ( he beat the record by Connie Mack to one week). He was known for its pioneering spirit, to provoke his sense of humor and for his talent, the umpires. Bragan was thrown out in the third inning of his comeback, and thus became the oldest person who received a red card in a professional baseball game.

Bragan died on 21 January 2010 of a heart attack at his home in Fort Worth.
