瑞克·阿兰·罗斯（英语：Rick Alan Ross，1952年11月24日—）是美国的取消编程员、邪教专家，也是非营利性邪教教育学院的创始人兼执行董事^[1]，曾因取消编程而涉及对他人信仰自由的侵犯跟相关诉讼。他经常出现在新闻界和其他媒体讨论小组中，讨论一些被他认为是邪教的组织。^[2]

瑞克·阿兰·罗斯在1991年因为和两名助手一起对一个名叫杰森·史考特（Jason Scott）的国际联合五旬节会成员强制实行取消编程之故，而面临诉讼，^[3]尽管陪审团最后决定无罪释放瑞克·阿兰·罗斯，^[4]^[3]但这诉讼导致了875,000美元的损害赔偿，而邪教认知网络（英语：Cult Awareness Network）必须支付1,000,000美元的惩罚性赔偿，瑞克·阿兰·罗斯个人更必须支付2,500,000美元的惩罚性赔偿，而两名助手也各需支付250,000美元的惩罚性赔偿。这判决使得邪教认知网络破产，而这判决标志著北美洲新兴宗教运动及基督教反邪教运动（Christian countercult movement）的分水岭。^[5]^[6]对于此案件，宗教学者约翰·高登·梅尔敦曾下过诸如“这案件使得这国家（指美国）的取消编程活动宣告终止”^{[注 1]}和“这判决的结果……使得取消编程活动得以继续的交通线被切断”^{[注 2]}等的评语。^[7]详情可见杰森·史考特案（英语：Jason Scott case）一文的说明。
