Robert Mark Goresky (born 1950) is a Canadian mathematician who invented intersection homology with Robert MacPherson.

He received his Ph.D. from Brown University in 1976. His thesis, titled Geometric Cohomology and Homology of Stratified Objects, was written under the direction of MacPherson. Many of the results in his thesis were published in 1981 by the American Mathematical Society. He has taught at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and Northeastern University.

In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
