Olivier Bellavance-Roy ({{IPA|fr|ʁwa}}; born July 12, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for HC Pustertal Wölfe of the ICE Hockey League (ICEHL).

Roy was selected in the third round, 44th overall, by the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)'s Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in the 2007 QMJHL Entry Draft. In his first season with Cape Breton, Roy recorded four shutouts and ultimately won the RDS Cup as the League's top rookie.

Roy then played for Team Quebec in the 2008 ADT Canada-Russia Challenge, and was named Team Quebec's Player of the Game in their 5–3 win over Team Russia in the first game of the series.

Roy was ranked as the second-best North American goaltender available by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau going into the 2009 NHL Entry Draft in Montreal,{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=418128&navid=DL%7cNHL%7chome|title=Tavares, Hedman top final draft lists|publisher=www.nhl.com|access-date=14 April 2009}} and on June 27, he was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the fifth round, 133rd overall.
