Robert 'Bob' Hammond is a former Australian rules footballer who played for North Adelaide and Norwood in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) during the 1960s and early 1970s. He later served as coach of the Sydney Swans in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Hammond played his early football at Kilburn before being recruited to North Adelaide. He took a while to break into the senior side but when he did in 1960 he was a member of their premiership team. A key defender, he also participated in North Adelaide's premiership years of 1971/72 and played in the club's 1972 Championship of Australia win.

While at North Adelaide he represented South Australia at interstate level in a famous win against Victoria in 1963, one of eight times that he would appear for his state.

Norwood lured Hammond to their club in 1974 as captain-coach and he went on to have success. After retiring as a player at the end of his initial season, Hammond steered them to premierships in 1975 and 1978.

His coaching career continued at interstate level and he was in charge of the South Australian team which defeated Victoria for the first time at State of Origin level, in 1983. The following year he coached the Sydney Swans in eight games during the 1984 VFL season.

From 1991 to 2000, Hammond served as the Chairman of the Adelaide Football Club, a tenure in which they won two premierships.

In 2001 he was named as a back pocket in North Adelaide's official 'Team of the Century' and in 2002 was inducted into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.
