Robert Lambert (1 August 1896 – 9 September 1970) was an Irish republican. He was involved in the Irish War of Independence and fought on the republican side in the Civil War.[1] He led the Kyle Flying Column in County Wexford.

Lambert was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency at the 1923 general election.[2] He did not take his seat in the Dáil due to Sinn Féin's abstentionist policy and did not contest the June 1927 general election.[3]
