Roger Huerta (born May 20, 1983 in Los Angeles, California), nicknamed "El Matador", is a Mexican American mixed martial artist. He competes in the lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Huerta holds a professional MMA record of 20 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw.

Huerta was originally slated to make his UFC debut against Hermes Franca at UFC 61, but was forced to withdraw from the fight as the result of an elbow injury. Since then he has won all five of his fights in the UFC, the first at UFC 63 against Jason Dent, which was declared "Fight of the Night".

Most recently Huerta defeated Alberto Crane, at UFC 74 after he was able to counter Crane's submission attempts and pound him into exhaustion until the fight was stopped in round three.

Huerta's only loss came as a result of a dislocated jaw early in the finals of the SuperBrawl 36 tournament against Ryan Schultz on June 18, 2004, his third match of the day.
