Raghunath Anant Tople[a] (born Rogunata Ananta Tople; 2 August 1928 – unknown), also known as R.A. Tople, was an Indian politician, teacher, and playwright. He was a former member of the Goa, Daman and Diu Legislative Assembly representing the Mapusa Assembly constituency from 1963 to 1967. Tople was a member of the Janata Party.

Tople was among the many Goan playwrights who made significant contributions to the realm of drama and one-act plays. Many of his works were brought to life on stage by esteemed educational and cultural organizations.[2] Tople, alongside Shantaram Dhond, played prominent roles as key figures within the Maharashtrawadi Aghadi centre located in Mapusa, Goa.[3]
