Robert Charles Sproul (Pittsburgh, 1939. február 13. – Altamonte Springs, 2017. december 14.) amerikai kálvinista teológus, az amerikai presbiteriánus egyház lelkésze, a szisztematikus teológia professzora, író. A Ligonier Ministries (egy oktatási, non-profit szervezet) alapítója és elnöke volt, amely keresztény iskolát, főiskolát, szemináriumot és rádióműsort működtet.

Tanítása a kálvinizmuson alapult és annak egyik legnagyobb képviselője volt. Úgy jellemezték, mint "a református teológia 20. századi fellendülésének legnagyobb és legbefolyásosabb alakja."[4][5][6]
