Robert Mascall (or Maschal) (died 1416) was a medieval Carmelite friar who served as the Bishop of Hereford from 1404 to 1416.
Mascall was born at Ludlow, Shropshire, where at an early age he became a Carmelite friar. He was educated at the University of Oxford, gaining a distinction in philosophy and theology. Probably in 1400, King Henry IV appointed Mascall his confessor.
Mascall was appointed the Bishop of the Diocese of Hereford by papal provision on 2 July and consecrated on 6 July 1404. He received possession of the temporalities of the See of Hereford on 25 September 1404.
Mascall died in office on 22 December 1416.
