Rod Finch (born 5 August 1967) is a British former middle-distance runner who mainly competed in the 1500 metres, 3000 metres and the 5000 meters.

The peak of his career was a bronze medal for Great Britain over 3000 m at the 1994 European Athletics Indoor Championships, which he took even though he stumbled on the final lap. During his athletic career he continued to work as a sergeant for the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment.[1][2] This was his only major international medal.

Finch shared in the 3000 m national title at the 1998 AAA Indoor Championships with Dave Taylor.[3] At regional level he was the 1993 South of England champion over 5000 metres and that same year was the 1500 m inter-counties champion.[4][5]

He continued to compete into his later years with Basingstoke & Mid Hants Athletics Club.[6]
