Roger "Coach" Phillips is a fictional character on Happy Days played by Ted McGinley. He is the nephew of Howard and Marian Cunningham and a teacher and basketball coach at Jefferson High School in Milwaukee.

Roger was a recurring character in seasons 8-9 and joined the main cast in season 10 and stayed until the series finale in season 11.
