Roy Prince Edward Perry (1905–1972) was a Canadian dentist, politician, and community leader from Windsor, Ontario. He was the first Black Canadian to be on Windsor's governing Board of Control, President of the Essex County Dental Association, and a long-serving alderman for his ward. As an elected official, he focused on redeveloping certain areas of the city and increasing recreational opportunities for the local youth.
He was exceptionally active in the Windsor community as a member of many local organizations, and as the host of a well-known and well-attended annual skating party for local children. He was recognized for his contributions locally and nationally.
