Nathaniel Elmer Trammell (August 8, 1903 – March, 1973) was an American Negro league first baseman and sports journalist.

A native of Key West, Florida, Trammell attended Cookman Institute and Clark College.^[1] He spent one season in the Negro leagues, playing for the Birmingham Black Barons in 1930.^[2]

Trammell went on to become the editor of Colored Baseball & Sports Monthly, a "well-edited" periodical that "not only carried current baseball and sports information, but also tried to document the history of black sports."^[3] His 1934 article "Will Colored Players enter the Major Leagues?" was an early plea advocating for the abolishment of baseball's color line.^[4]

Trammell died in Queens, New York in 1973 at age 69.
