Arthur Leonard "Red" Swanson (born October 15, 1936) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. Signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as a bonus baby in 1955, he spent the next two full years with the team as required by the draft rule of that time. He was assigned to the minor leagues in 1958, and continued to pitch until 1963, but never got back to the majors.
Swanson graduated from Neville High School in Monroe, Louisiana.
His father, A. L. Swanson, coached both baseball and basketball at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
