Bobby Wellins (born Glasgow on 24 January 1936) is a Scottish tenor saxophonist best known for his collaboration with Stan Tracey on the seminal 1965 British jazz album "Under Milk Wood".

He was a member of Buddy Featherstonhaugh's quintet in the late 1950s, together with Kenny Wheeler and around that time also joined drummer Tony Crombie's Jazz Inc., where he first met up with pianist Tracey, and going on to join Tracey's quartet in the early 1960s.

In the mid-seventies he led his own quartet, as well as a quintet with fellow sax player Don Weller. In the 1980s he formed a band with guitarist Jim Mullen, and in the 90s led a quartet which featured, among others, John Critchinson (piano), Andy Cleynhert (bass), Martin Drew (drums).
