Ronald Allan Attwell (February 9, 1935 – December 4, 2017) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 22 games in the National Hockey League with the St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers during the 1967–68 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1954 to 1970, was spent in the minor leagues.
When the Montreal Junior Canadiens signed Attwell, his transfer was not approved by the Ontario Hockey Association where he played minor ice hockey. This resulted in the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association suspending the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association for issuing a player's card to Attwell at the behest of team manager Sam Pollock.
Attwell was the father of Bob Attwell. His nephew is Bill McCreary Jr.[citation needed]
