Roger Handasyd

General Roger Handasyd (c. 1684 – 4 January 1763) was a British Army officer.

He obtained a commission in a regiment of foot in 1694, and served two campaigns under King William III. He also served with reputation in the wars of Queen Anne.

After many years' service in the 22nd Regiment of Foot, Handasyd was promoted to the lieutenant-colonelcy of that corps, which he commanded some time at the island of Jamaica. He succeeded his father in the colonelcy of the regiment on 3 April 1712, and was removed to the 16th Regiment of Foot on 9 July 1730. He was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general in 1735, to that of major-general in 1739, and to lieutenant-general in 1743.
