Abstract: Redshift space distortions are an important probe of the growth of large-scale structure and for constraining cosmological parameters in general. As galaxy redshift surveys approach percent level precision in their observations of the two point clustering statistics, it is timely to review what effects baryons and associated processes such as feedback may have on small-scale clustering in redshift space. Contrary to previous studies in the literature, we show using the large-volume \bahamas\ hydrodynamic simulations that the effect of baryons can be as much as 1\% in the $k \sim 0.1\, h\,$Mpc$^{-1}$ range for the monopole and 5\% for quadrupole, and that this could rise to as much as 10\% at $k \sim 10 \,h\,$Mpc$^{-1}$ in both measurements. For the halo power spectra, this difference can be as much 3-4\% in the monopole on scales of $0.05 < k < 0.3 \, h\,$Mpc$^{-1}$ for 10$^{13}\,h^{-1}$M$_{\odot}$ haloes. We find that these deviations can be mitigated to the sub-percent level in the both the monopole and quadrupole up to $k\sim 0.3\,h$ Mpc$^{-1}$ if the baryon corrected halo masses are used to calculate the redshift space power spectra. Finally, we use the \textsc{cosmo-OWLS} simulation suite to explore the changes in the redshift space power spectra with different feedback prescriptions, finding that there is a maximum of 15-20\% difference between the redshift space monopole and quadrupole with and without baryons at $k \sim 1-2\,h\,$Mpc$^{-1}$ within these models.
