Sir Robert North Collie Hamilton, 6th Baronet KCB (1802-1887), was a British politician and East India Company civil servant. He was the son of Sir Frederic Hamilton, 5th Baronet, whom he succeeded in the Baronetcy in 1853.

His next post was as secretary to the Lieutenant Governor of the North-West Provinces from 1841 to 1852, before he became Agent to the Governor-General in Central India (1852-60). He was appointed a member of the Governor-General's Council in 1859 and KCB in 1860, before retiring from the East India Company in the latter year.

He contested the Parliamentary Constituency of South Warwickshire as a Liberal candidate in the 1868 and 1874 general elections.
In 1831, he married Constance, daughter of General Sir George Anson GCB. She died in 1842, leaving five children: Frederick Harding Anson (born 1836, army officer), Frank Henry (born 1840, army officer), Constance Eliza Ann, Frances Isabella and Louisa Catherine Emma.
He was succeeded by his son, Frederick, in 1887.
