Roland Mitchell (born March 15, 1964) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback for eight seasons in the National Football League (NFL).

Mitchell was born in Columbus, Texas and played scholastically at Bay City High School.[1] He played college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders,[2] where, as a senior, he was honored by Gannett News Service (GNS) as a second-team All-American.[3]

Mitchell was selected in the second round of the 1987 NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills.[4] He appeared in eleven games his first year, and the first three of the next, before being traded to the Phoenix Cardinals for Leonard Smith.[5] He spent the remainder of 1988, and then the entire 1989 season with the Cardinals.[6]

Mitchell was with the Atlanta Falcons for the 1990 season, and then spent four years with the Green Bay Packers to finish his career. He started all 16 games in 1993 for the Packers.[6]

Mitchell recorded six career interceptions, to go with three fumble recoveries.[6]
