Logan Gaffney Drake (December 26, 1899 – June 1, 1940) was an American professional baseball pitcher, a right-hander who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1922 to 1924 for the Cleveland Indians. In 10 career games, Drake pitched 1823 innings and posted a win–loss record of 0–1 with a 7.71 earned run average (ERA).

Born in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Drake began his professional career in 1919. He spent the next four seasons in the minor leagues, and was signed by the Cleveland Indians in late 1922. He played for the Indians at the end of the 1922 and 1923 seasons as well as the 1924 season until his release. He spent the rest of 1924 with the Wichita Falls Spudders until an injury caused him to lose his index finger. Despite the injury, he continued to play professional baseball until 1928. He then retired to South Carolina, operating a sandwich business until his death in 1940.
