Robert Fitzhamon (? - mart 1107) ili Robert FitzHamon, Sieur de Creully (Creully u oblasti Calvados) i Sieur de Torigny (u oblasti Manche u Normandiji) bio je anglo-nomanrski feudalac koji je nakon normanskog osvajanja postao gospodar (lord) Gloucestera u Engleskoj, a poslije osvajanja i Glamorgana u južnom Walesu. Izvori o njegovom ranom životu su oskudni, iako se navodi da je bio u rodu s Williamom Osvajačem. Glamorgan je osvojio 1075. Tokom vladavine Williamovih sinova Williama Rufusa i Henryja I bio je jedan od rijetkih anglo-normanskih magnata koji im je sve vrijeme ostao odan.
Njegova praunuka Isabel od Gloucestera se kasnije udala za kralja Johna.
