Ryan Odom (born July 11, 1974) is an American men's college basketball coach who is the head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers men's basketball team since March 21, 2025. He has previously coached the UMBC Retrievers, Utah State Aggies, and VCU Rams, taking each program to the NCAA Tournament by his second year. Odom has many unique ties to the Virginia program having run the gamut from being a ball boy in University Hall through the 1980s to being the coach who defeated No. 1 seed Virginia—the first NCAA Round of 64 win by a men's No. 16 seed—in 2018. His father is Dave Odom, former UVA assistant coach (1982–1989) and former head coach at Wake Forest and South Carolina. Odom was awarded the Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award in 2018 and was the America East Coach of the Year in 2021.
As a player, Odom holds Hampden–Sydney Tigers all-time records (as of 2025) for most three-point field goals in a season and most consecutive games with a three-point field goal.
