"Robert 'Bob' Hammond" is a former Australian rules footballer who played for North Adelaide Football Club/North Adelaide and Norwood Football Club/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 Australian Football League/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 win over Victoria in 1963, one of eight times that he would appear for his state.
