Ferris Roy Fain (March 29, 1921 – October 18, 2001) was an American baseball first baseman in Major League Baseball who played nine seasons with the Philadelphia Athletics, Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians in the American League.

Fain started his career with the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League. He was signed by the Philadelphia Athletics prior to the 1947 season where he became a two-time American League batting champion. Known for his explosive temper on and off the field it affected his playing ability, and the Athletics traded him after the 1952 season. Fain bounced around the league for a couple of years before retiring in 1955. In his later life, Fain became known for his troubles with the law, mainly growing marijuana.

Ferris Fain was born in San Antonio, Texas, the son of Oscar Fain, a jockey best known for leading his horse Duval to a second place finish in the 1912 Kentucky Derby and a domestic maid. He had a "very abusive" childhood, mainly at the hands of the father, who died when he was still a child. His mother was doing domestic work in order for the family to survive. He grew up in Oakland, California, where he graduated from Roosevelt High School. From 1939 through 1946 he was with the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League; he missed three seasons, 1943–45, owing to military service.
