Roger d'Abetot (sometimes Roger of Abitôt) was a medieval English Sheriff of Worcestershire.

Roger was the son of Urse d'Abetot, his predecessor as sheriff. Along with the offices, Roger also inherited the feudal barony of Salwarpe in Worcestershire. He was banished from England in around 1110 His lands were also forfeit. According to the medieval writer William of Malmesbury, Henry exiled him because Roger ordered that a royal official be killed.

The office passed to Osbert d'Abetot, who may have been Roger's uncle, before eventually ending up with Roger's brother-in-law Walter de Beauchamp.
