Earl Roche (February 22, 1910 – August 15, 1965) was a Canadian left winger who played 147 NHL games across five seasons for the Montreal Maroons, Boston Bruins, Ottawa Senators, St. Louis Eagles, and Detroit Red Wings. Born in Prescott, Ontario, he played junior hockey in Montreal and was part of the Montreal Hockey Club's Allan Cup-winning squad in 1930 before signing with the Maroons. His best offensive season came with Ottawa in 1933–34, when he scored 13 goals and added 16 assists in 45 games. His brother Desse Roche also played in the NHL, and the two frequently skated on the same line.
