Howard Preston Ridlehuber (born November 2, 1943) is a former American collegiate and professional football running back who played in both the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL).

He played one season each with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons and the AFL's Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills. Ridlehuber was selected in the 11th round (166th overall) of the 1966 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers and in the 19th round (168th overall) of the 1966 AFL Draft by the New York Jets.
