Rollen Stewart (born 1955), also known as Rockin' Rollen and Rainbow Man, was a fixture in American sports culture best known for wearing a rainbow-colored wig and holding up signs reading "John 3:16" at sporting events around the United States in the 1980s.

In the late 1980's, he began a string of bombings, mostly with stink bombs, in churches and Christian bookstores. He was then arrested in 1992 after a standoff in a California hotel during which he entered a vacant room with two men he was attempting to kidnap and surprised a chambermaid who then locked herself in the bathroom. He is currently serving out a life sentence in jail on kidnapping charges.

In 1993, Steve Taylor wrote a song about him called Bannerman. His life story has been the subject of a film called Rainbow Man.
