Robert Stanton Pierre is a fictional character in David Weber´s Honorverse series of novels.

By the beginning of Haven's war against Manticore, Pierre is the most powerful Dolist manager (a politician capable of delivering the votes of millions of franchised Dolists to whatever candidate he chooses) in the People's Republic of Haven. Despite his personal power and the status he achieved within the People's Republic, he clearly sees that Haven is doomed unless reforms are implemented. The problem is that no one within the system has the courage to make the necessary reforms.

Together with a fringe group known as the Citizens' Rights Union and a senior Security bureaucrat by the name of Oscar Saint-Just, Rob S. Pierre (as he is usually referred to, a name which bears more than a coincidental resemblance to Maximilien Robespierre) stages a coup that kills Hereditary President Harris and most of the Havenite government. He then maneuvers the People's Quorum to appoint him Chairman of a Committee of Public Safety.

Once in power, Pierre finds that governing the People's Republic is not easy. Faced with a costly war with Manticore, the resentment of a military that has been purged and a violent and unruly populace spurred by Cordelia Ransom's propaganda, he can do nothing but implement some long-term fiscal reforms.

Rob S. Pierre is killed with his entire security detail during Admiral Esther McQueen's attempted coup. He is succeeded as Chairman of the Committee by Oscar Saint-Just.

Pierre had a son, Rear Admiral Edward Pierre, who died commanding two divisions of battlecruisers against a Manticoran dreadnought (an attempt to destroy a Manticoran light cruiser which went awry due to the unforeseen presence of the DN) during the sneak attacks that preceded the actual war.
