Buck Coats (born June 9, 1982 in Fort Benning, Georgia) is a Major League Baseball outfielder for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Buck made his major league debut playing for the Chicago Cubs on August 22, 2006 against the Philadelphia Phillies. On August 30, 2007, Coats was traded to the Reds for a player to be named later. This phenomenon was repeated on December 5 of the same year, when the Reds dealt him to the Toronto Blue Jays for right-handed pitcher Justin James.

He is known for his catch phrase, "Yeah baby" in his southern drawl.
