Greene Flake "Red" Laird (16. Dezember 1902 - 10. April 1992) war ein US-amerikanischer Basketball- und Baseballtrainer. Er ist am besten dafür bekannt, dass er 30 Saisons lang der Chef-Baseballtrainer von Virginia Tech war und in der Saison 2013 (343) die zweitmeisten Siege in der Programmgeschichte zusammenstellte. 1971 wurde er in die American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame und 1983 in die Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Die Heimstätte des Baseballstadions der Virginia Tech, English Field , ist nach ihm benannt. Laird trainierte auch die Basketball- und Baseballmannschaften der Männer an der Virginia Tech, dem Catawba College und dem Davidson College sowie der Neuling- Footballmannschaft von Davidson. Laird besuchte Davidson zwischen 1922-23 und 1925-26. Dort verdiente er sich 12 Universitätsbriefe – jeweils vier in Football, Basketball und Baseball.
