Baker Reagan Mayfield (born April 14, 1995) is an American professional football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Oklahoma Sooners, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 2017, becoming the first walk-on player to ever win the award. He was selected first overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2018 NFL draft.

Mayfield set the NFL rookie quarterback record for passing touchdowns during his first season, along with ending a 19-game winless streak for the Browns in his debut. His most successful season with the franchise was in 2020 when he led the Browns to their first playoff appearance since 2002 and first playoff victory since 1994. Due to a performance decline and conflict with Browns management, Mayfield was traded from Cleveland in 2022, spending the year with the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams.

Mayfield joined the Buccaneers ahead of the 2023 season, leading the team to two consecutive division titles and a playoff victory, as well as earning Pro Bowl honors and setting career highs in consecutive years. Mayfield is currently the all-time leader in playoff passer rating.
