Ronald Weeks was an English lawn bowls player who lived from 1884 to 1973 and represented England at the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney, Australia. He competed in the pairs event at those games and finished in fourth place, just outside the medals. Away from the green he was a farmer by trade and lived at the Knapps in Winscombe, Somerset, where he was married to Nora Kate Ralls. He served as honorary secretary of the Winscombe Bowls Club, whose captain was his brother Hubert Weeks. His record is a small but typical example of the club-level bowlers from the English countryside who reached the international stage in the inter-war years.
