Robert Samuel "Bob" Hammond (1 September 1905 – 2 March 1993) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Hammond joined Hawthorn from Broadford at the start of the 1927 VFL season and played eleven games at centre half back before injury put an end to his season. Hammond made a single appearance in 1928 and then did not play VFL football for two years.
Hammond reappeared with Hawthorn in 1931, scoring 14 goals in a further 22 appearances (mostly as a centre half forward) over the next couple of seasons. Although selected for the Round 6 game in 1933 he failed to play due to illness. After a couple of games in the reserves, Hammond made a mid-season move to St. Kilda. In his first game for St. Kilda Hammond suffered a significant knee injury and never again played VFL football.
His brother, Joe Hammond, also played VFL football with Essendon.
