Rick Lee Guttormson (リック・ガトームソン, 릭 구톰슨) (born January 11, 1977) is a former professional baseball starting pitcher.

He became the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the history of interleague play in Japanese baseball, doing so against the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles on May 25, 2006. As of the 2022, he became the last foreign pitcher to throw a no hitter in Nippon Professional Baseball until 2022, when Cody Ponce of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters did so against the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks on the 27th of August.[1]
