Roger Le Geyt Hetherington CBE (1908–1990) was a British civil engineer.

Hetherington was born in London on 20 December 1908, the eldest son of Sir Roger Gaskell Hetherington and his wife Honoria Ford.[1][2] In 1921 Hetherington entered Highgate School.[3] Hetherington held a Master of Arts degree and was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 22 July 1940.[4] His professional career as a consulting civil engineer was with Binnie and Partners. He was elected a first class member of the Smeatonian Society of Civil Engineers in 1960 and later became a member emeritus.[5][6] He was asked to become the president of the Society in 1979 but declined on the grounds of poor health.[7] Hetherington served as president of the Institution of Civil Engineers from November 1972 to November 1973.[8][9] and was appointed CBE in the 1974 Birthday Honours. He married Katharine Elise Dawson in 1945 and had a single daughter.
