John Francis "Red" Waller (June 16, 1883 – February 9, 1915) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher who played for one season. He pitched for the New York Giants for one game on April 27 during the 1909 New York Giants season. He pitched one inning, allowing two runs, neither of them earned.
