Robert T. Fisher (December 3, 1887 – July 7, 1942) was an American football player and coach. He played college football at Harvard University from 1909 to 1911 and was a consensus All-American at guard in 1910 and 1911. Fisher served as the head football coach at Harvard from 1919 to 1925, compiling a record of 43–14–5. His 1919 team won the 1920 Rose Bowl over Oregon and was retroactively recognized as a national champion by a number of selectors. Fisher was one of the original trustees for the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1973.
