Ronald Torbert is currently an American football official in the National Football League (NFL) since the 2010 NFL season. He wears uniform number 62.

A graduate of Michigan State University and Harvard Law School, Torbert began his NFL officiating career in 2010 as a side judge, then became a referee for the 2014 NFL season after Scott Green and Ron Winter announced their retirements. Torbert is one of only seven African-American referees in NFL history, after Johnny Grier, Mike Carey, Jerome Boger and Don Carey, and preceding Shawn Smith and Adrian Hill.

Ron was the alternate referee for Super Bowl LIII. He is also featured in the NFL 100 year anniversary video that aired during the same Super Bowl.

On January 25, 2022, the NFL named him as the referee for Super Bowl LVI.

Outside of his NFL officiating job, Torbert is an attorney, as is his fellow referee Clete Blakeman.
