Robert Fumulani (1948 in Zomba, Malawi – 1998) was an award-winning popular musician, nightclub owner, and businessman in Malawi. He fronted the Likhubula River Dance Band, known for its Afroma ("Afro-Malawi") funk rock reggae fusion.

Fumulani has been described as "one of Malawi's most popular bandleaders of the late 1980s and 1990s", and as "the blessed father of our national music". He was part of a generation of male singers whose lyrics were about life, but devoid of political content. In the 1980s he was a three-time winner of Malawi's "Entertainer of the Year" award.
