Robert Barr (1850-1912) was a Scottish-Canadian journalist and author. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland and immigrated to Canada in his twenties, where he worked as a journalist for various newspapers.

Barr is best known for his short stories, particularly those featuring the character Eugène Valmont, a French detective who solves crimes in a witty and charming manner. "The Triumphs of Eugène Valmont" is perhaps his most famous work. In addition to his fiction writing, Barr was also a prolific journalist and wrote articles for publications such as The Idler, The Speaker, and The Pall Mall Gazette.
