Ronald John Henry Kaulback (23 July 1909 – 1995) was a British explorer, botanist and geographer. He was the son of Colonel H. A. Kaulback and had a younger brother Roy (known as Bill). After studying at the University of Cambridge and learning surveying at the Royal Geographical Society he accompanied Frank Kingdon-Ward on an expedition to Tibet. For political reasons he was forbidden to continue on the second part of that journey so he, Brooks Carrington and some others set out on a route by Fort Hertz and Burma which included crossing the Diphuk La and after travelling at the worst season reached Fort Hertz. He travelled in Burma, Nepal and Tibet.

Kaulback wrote in defence of the possible existence of the Yeti, having seen what he took to be large footprints while attempting to locate the source of the Salween River.
