Vincent P. Batha was a college football and basketball player and coach in the United States. He also worked as a professor of math and sciences after retiring from coaching.

Batha played tackle for the Carroll College Pioneers (now called "Carroll University") located in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The school honored his legacy by inducting him into their "Hall of Fame" in 1973 as as "charter member" of the group.

Batha later became the the 16th head football coach for his alma mater and he held that position for the 1931 season. His career coaching record at Carroll College was 1 win, 4 losses, and 1 tie. This ranks him 26th at Carroll College in total wins and 25th at Carroll College in winning percentage. He would remain with the program as assistant coach under Glenn Thistlethwaite beginning in 1932. Coach Batha's poor performance was called the worst start in seven years for the program, which was attributed to weakness at the end positions and turnover in the bakcfield.

Batha also was the head basketball coach at Carroll from 1931 until 1934, posting the 12th-most wins at the history of the school (as of 2007-2008 season) with a record of 29-13. He also was assistant Athletic Director and head coach of the track and field and cross country teams.
