Karl Adam "Bud" Anderson (born May 27, 1956) is a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher.
He was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the third round of the 1977 amateur draft out of Rutgers University.[1] Anderson spent three seasons in the Seattle Mariners organization.

The Seattle Mariners traded Anderson to the Cleveland Indians on March 29, 1980, to complete an earlier trade. He made his major league debut on June 11, 1982 with the Indians.[1] On that day, Anderson pitched three scoreless innings in relief.[3] Despite having a 3.35 earned run average, Anderson posted a win-loss record of 3-4.[1] Anderson's team went on to finish tied for sixth in their division.[4] In 1983, Anderson had a 4.08 earned run average.
