Rod Lawler (born 12 July 1971 in Liverpool, Lancashire) is an English professional snooker player.
He is noted for his slow playing style, which gave rise to his nickname, "Rod the Plod".Since turning professional in 1990, Lawler has reached one ranking tournament final - the 1996 International Open, where he lost 3–9 to John Higgins - and won one minor-ranking tournament, Event 3 of the 2012/2013 Players Tour Championship, where he defeated Marco Fu 4–2 in the final.
Lawler has compiled 100 competitive century breaks during his career, including his highest, a 143, in qualifying for the 2003 World Championship.
