Timothy Andrew Keith Rodber (born July 2, 1969) formerly a rugby union footballer who played at Number eight, flanker or lock for Northampton Saints, England, and the British and Irish Lions.

Rodber excelled at rugby from an early age, representing his school, Churcher's College, as well as local side Petersfield R.F.C.. In 1987 he joined Northampton Saints.

He made his debut for England in the 25-7 victory over Scotland in the 1992 Five Nations Championship. Good performances, including helping England to win the 1993 Rugby World Cup Sevens title, earned him a call-up to the 1997 British Lions tour to South Africa.

He was one of the few Englishmen in the 1990s to be sent off in South Africa in 1994.

However, injury dogged his career and he was not seen selection after 1999. He retired at the end of the 2000/01 season. Now COO for the corporate information management business, Williams Lea, in New York.
