Roland Werner (* 1957) ist ein deutscher evangelikaler Theologe, Sprachwissenschaftler und Autor, der vor allem in Marburg sowie in Leitungsfunktionen bei Initiativen wie dem Christival und dem CVJM gewirkt hat. Er steht für eine intellektuell reflektierte und alltagsnahe Glaubensvermittlung, geriet jedoch 2008 im Vorfeld des Christivals wegen eines umstrittenen Seminarangebots zum Thema Homosexualität in bundesweite Kritik. Bibellesern ist er insbesondere durch seine moderne, sinnorientierte Bibelübersetzung „das buch.“ sowie praxisbezogene geistliche Veröffentlichungen bekannt.
