Roger Segure (May 22, 1905, New York City – January 28, 2000) was an American jazz arranger.

Segure was primarily an autodidact. He accompanied Midge Williams on piano in the 1930s for her tours of the United States, and East Asia. Later in the 1930s he did arrangements for Louis Armstrong, Andy Kirk, and John Kirby. From 1940 to 1944 he was the principal arranger for Jimmie Lunceford. He moved to Los Angeles in the 1940s, where he worked as a musical director for television and in music education. Segure also helped integrate the Los Angeles chapters of the American Federation of Musicians.
