Ron Wojciak (1943–1966) was an American baseball player.

Wojciak grew up in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. He attended the University of Minnesota where he earned All-Big 10 and All-American honors in baseball. His team, the Minnesota Golden Gophers, won the 1964 College World Series. He served as the team's catcher.[1] He signed to play professional baseball with the Minnesota Twins.[2] He played for the Orlando Twins, a Twins minor league affiliate in the Florida State League, in 1965, appearing in 59 games with a .250 batting average.
