Royce Khalil O'Neale (born June 5, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for Herbalife Gran Canaria of the Spanish Liga ACB. He played college basketball for the University of Denver and Baylor University.

O'Neale, a small forward from Killeen, Texas, was recruited to the University of Denver out of Harker Heights High School. He played two seasons for the Pioneers before transferring to Baylor in 2013.[1] Because he transferred to be closer to his family and ailing grandfather, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) granted him a waiver to transfer rules, making him immediately eligible to play for the Bears instead of sitting out the customary year.[2]

Following the close of his college career, O'Neale was not selected in the 2015 NBA draft. He played his first professional season in Germany for MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg, where he averaged 8.1 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. After playing for the Golden State Warriors' Summer League team in 2016, he signed with Herbalife Gran Canaria in Spain.[3]
