Ronald Lee Ridenhour (April 6, 1946 – May 10, 1998) was an American known for having played a central role in spurring the federal investigation of the 1968 Mỹ Lai massacre in Vietnam. When he first learned of events there, he was serving in the United States 11th Infantry Brigade in Vietnam. He gathered evidence and interviewed people before the end of his tour. After returning to the US in 1969, he wrote to President Nixon, members of his cabinet and two dozen Congressmen recounting what he had learned. A full-scale Department of Defense investigation eventually took place.

  • Ronald Ridenhour, född 6 april 1946 i Oakland, Kalifornien, död 10 maj 1998 i New Orleans, var en amerikansk menig soldat som tillhörde 11:e infanteribrigaden under vietnamkriget. Ridenhour spelade en avgörande roll vid avslöjandet av vad som egentligen hade ägt rum i den sydvietnamesiska byn My Lai den 16 mars 1968. Utredningen ledde bland annat till att William Calley ställdes inför rätta och dömdes till livstids fängelse för mord på 22 civila vietnameser. Straffet omvandlades dock till husarrest, först i tjugo år och senare i tio år. Calley var en fri man redan 1974. (sv)
