Roy Anthony Hargrove (October 16, 1969 – November 2, 2018) was an American jazz and funk trumpeter. Hargrove was discovered by Wynton Marsalis when he attended the same high school as Hargrove in Dallas. Hargrove was strongly influenced by saxophonist David 'Fathead' Newman, who performed with Ray Charles at his high school. Hargrove studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston from 1988 to 1989, but during this period he often performed in New York and then went to The New School there. There he also made his first recordings with saxophonist Bobby Watson. Recordings followed with Superblue, Mulgrew Miller and Kenny Washington.

In 1990 his first solo album Diamond in the Rough was released. Verve Records allowed Hargrove to record with many jazz greats, including Joe Henderson, Stanley Turrentine, Johnny Griffin, Joshua Redman, and Branford Marsalis. He composed The Love Suite: In Mahogany in 1993, commissioned by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Hargrove had worked with a wide variety of musicians. Initially, he often played with Shirley Horn. He also recorded with Kitty Margolis. He also worked frequently with Erykah Badu (with whom he also went to school), Common, D'Angelo, and Meshell Ndegeocello.

In 1998, he won a Grammy Award for his album Habana with his Afro-Cuban band Crisol. In 2002, he won a second Grammy Award, this time with Herbie Hancock and Michael Brecker for the album Directions in Music. In 2014, Hargrove was sentenced by a Manhattan court to two days of group probation for buying cocaine. Hargrove was the founder and leader of the formation The RH Factor, where he combined elements of jazz, funk, hip hop, soul and gospel music. In 2009 he released a big band production with singer Roberta Gambarini, Emergence. After Hargrove was admitted to a New York hospital in connection with a long-term kidney disease, according to his manager Larry Clothier, he died on November 2, 2018 at the age of 49 from cardiac arrest.
