Reginald Joseph Rucker (born September 21, 1947) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns. He played college football for the Boston University Terriers.

Rucker attended Anacostia High School before enrolling at Boston University, where he became the school's first four-sport athlete in more than 20 years, competing in football, baseball, track and basketball. He contributed to an undefeated freshman football season, and as a sophomore returned a punt 71 yards for a touchdown on his first play in a varsity game, against the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He went on to break a New England major college record with three punts returned for touchdowns in a single season. His final-year teammates included Bruce Taylor, Pat Hughes, Fred Barry and Barry Pryor, all of whom later played in the NFL.

Rucker was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys after the 1969 college season. Over his NFL career he played for the Cowboys, Giants, Patriots and Browns.

In 1978, he was inducted into the Boston University Athletic Hall of Fame.
